It seems like just yesterday that I bought my Fujifilm FinePix S9000 and started to really have some fun with photography.
Now admittedly I haven't picked it up as much lately but my daughter did, I passed it down to her //www.dpchallenge.com/profile.php?USER_ID=36215, Ellie and she's actually entered a couple of challenges since acquiring it and done pretty decently as well.
But alas, the other night I went to plug it into my computer and the port to put the cable in, popped down inside the camera and now it won't power up at all. :(
We took it to the local shop and they said we could only send it to Fuji but I know that won't be worth the cost to fix it. I've had this one for a good 6 or 7 years and put it through quite a bit.
So now we are on the hunt for a new camera for her. She is taking a class at school (can even develop her own pictures from a film camera!) and doesn't want just a simple point and shoot like the one I use now a Sanyo VP-S120 so if anyone has some good suggestions where we can go to get her a good inexpensive DSL or even a DSLR it would be greatly appreciated.
Keep in mind, we don't have a lot of dineros so I am talking good but cheap! :)
Thanks all

Yes, I'm still alive :)

| I have a Pentax K-1000 SLR and 50mm lens (think it's f1.8), though that may be a little too old school. If no brand preferences otherwise, Nikon has many good entry-level cameras. Hope this helps! |

Are you looking for something similar to the S9000, with the giant zoom range, or does it matter?
Also, what did you mean by "DSL or even a DSLR"? |

| B&H has some great deals on refurbished Nikon camera's. D60 and D40X are both under $400 for just the bodies. So that may be an option. Looking at getting my son one of these and maybe an 18-200 for him to learn with. |
