Need to purchase a good camera

[simplyput3456]

I need to purchase a good camera but I have no idea where to start. I wanted an SLR (The Canon E0s) only because I hear thats a great camera but the entry level price for that camera is $600. Does anyone have any suggestions for me. The only requirements I need of the camera is for it to be able to take detailed close up pictures. Thanks for any advice.

well by the sound of it your interested in more than point and shoot functions...slr's are super nice and i love the expandable features like lens's and stuff....But you can find some good deals if you look in the right places....wallmart/target/bestbuy all have decent prices Online.....but i would suggest stickin to a cannon since theres lenses are top grade and last for a life time....Stay away from sony, kodak for sure, and and some older versions of samsung....If you dont go with a cannon nikons would be my second choice since their SLR's are really good too and they have some really good lens's too ranging i think from 55-300mm with some really good prices......just make sure to shop around before coming to a decision.

Do you have an slr camera? If so, are they difficult to use?
