Jay should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Paul, look into the Minolta Maxxum (Dynax) 5 as well, it should be about the same price as the Nikon F65, with a few more features and in a smaller, lighter package. It's pretty durable too, but probably not as much as the F65. Both the F65 and the Maxxum 5 would be great "starter" SLR cameras... you can use them as point and shoots at first and gradually experiment...

I bought a Maxxum 5 late last summer, so far it's been great, (still learning though...). I need a 300 lense... Not too expensive though... I was thinking of Sigma's 28-300 f3.5-6.3 "Hyperzoom" lense as sort of a compact universal one... Anyone have any experience with this one or something similar?
