Im looking for an affordable SLR, ill most likely be getting a refurbished one. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what to look for? I want 8.0MP at least, and am leaning towards a Canon… Another question, I have a minolta 35MM SLR, will all the lenses I have for that be able to be used with a digital SLR? Is there a standard for lenses, so theyre interchangeable? Thanks edit: something like this: [http://cgi.ebay.com/BRAND-NEW-Canon-EOS-Digital-Rebel-XT-8-Megapixel-KIT\_W0QQitemZ7574462582QQcategoryZ107909QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem](http://cgi.ebay.com/BRAND-NEW-Canon-EOS-Digital-Rebel-XT-8-Megapixel-KIT_W0QQitemZ7574462582QQcategoryZ107909QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) ---

Digital Rebel \> nikon D\*\* The Rebel XT is a nice camera… Higher framerate… and Higher MP than the 6mp companion the Rebel. ---

Getting a camera that will work with your pictures \> \* Knowing how to use a camera \> having an expensive one and thinking you are going to get good pictures. Frankly, having a firm understanding of certain digital photography concepts would mean you would understand that saying “I want an 8.0MP at least” is a silly criteria.

I need at least 8mp to be able to capture the images i need. I want better control of settings, like ive gotten good at with my 35mm SLR…
