What to look for when buying a DSLR

[DarkSideAccord]

lens availability/ interchangeability is my number one priority... good luck with tht canon and nikon owners

anyone else have advice or recommendations?

I personally purchased a true entry level DSLR, the Canon Rebel T3. While it doesn't have all the features that the considerably more expensive models have, it's worked fine for me. But I would definitely recommend the purchase of additional lenses.

I'm looking at a 30D, there is one on POTD for $280 shipped, CL link:

the viewfinders are considerably worse on entry level cameras.

The 30d is a seriously ancient machine at this point

More thoughts after work when I'm not on my phone

Roy, what made you want to buy a Pentax? You were looking a while back as I recall.
