Bored so I thought I'd get some opinions.
Considering I should get a nice-sized tax return in February or so, I'm considering getting a DSLR finally (since I'll have the cash to), but I'm kind of at a standstill with my decision.
I'm deciding between the Nikon D60 with the 18-55mm lens and probably a macro/telephoto, a bag and some filters; a Pentax K2000 with the 18-55 and also a 50-200mm lens with it, bag filters etc; or something else, possibly the olympus EP-1 4/3 and its main lense, a bag and stuff.
I plan on travelling after next year of school (and in general, like next summer) and taking a lot of pictures and such. I'm decent with composition pending the situation, but I would like a better camera. I would also bring it with me on a lot of longer biking trips and stuff for awesome shots (gotta love pics in the woods and mountains!).
I was wondering what those on here with experience in this have to say, as in what's good for a starter setup and whatnot under (if possible) $800-1000 (hopefully far under it, lol).
