I am looking at getting a digital SLR. I have no lens at this time for
any other camera, so will be starting fresh. I do have several SD and
HDSD cards so would like to stay with that format if at all possible.
Finally, I would like to stay under $1000 dollars for the camera and a
decent lens. I do mostly nature pictures.

Good luck on that one!


Any suggestions would be appreciated. I've thought of walking into a
Best Buy with my memory and ask if I could take a bunch of pictures with
their cameras, but wasn't sure how well that would fly. Thank you in
advance for your help.

You don't know til you ask. I don't see why they should have any
objection. At the very least, you should handle several and see how they
feel - maybe look up the manual online and see if it is easy to read,
makes sense and seems like the controls would be easy to operate.
