Most people stick with the big 2, Canon and Nikon but I would suggest that any of the entry level DSLR cameras from any of the top 5 (Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax and Sony) will actually do fine for you. Each has it's own good points. I'm a Pentax guy myself and really like the line because it's very well built and offers good value for the money. The new Pentax Kx is an awesome entry level camera with great ISO performance. However, let me lay out what I think are some of the advantages of each system as I see them: When it comes to Canon and Nikon there are more lenses out there for these cameras and more of everything else as well. It's easier to find everything you might ever want for these cameras. Their entry level cameras focus quickly and accurately with good ISO performance. If you really want to get extra reach with telephoto Olympus is a great way to go. The crop factor for their lenses is 2 times compared to 1.5 that most other systems offer. Their well made and offer good value for the money. Stabalization is built into the body, which is nice. The downside of Olympus is that there are less accessories out there for Olympus than any of the top five. Pentax is a company that is well known for providing good build and good value for the money. That's what led me to them and I must say I've not been disappointed. They don't focus the best in low light, but their cameras are very well built and both models in the line right now have shutters that are rated at 100,000 pictures. Pentax also has stabalization built into the camera. Sony is a great way to go for an entry level DSLR if you like point and shoot cameras. Their live view system is reportedly the best in the business. However, it seems to me that the system is not quite up to par in the entry level market outside of that . I'm sure many who have bought into the Sony line would disagree. A key thing is to remember that you aren't just buying a DSLR camera, you are buying into a sytem. I now have between five and ten lenses. If I were to switch systems I would have to sell what I have and begin again. I would suggest reading lots of reviews and also going to a camera store and asking to see a camera from each line that's in your price range. I hope this helps,. Tim Cathy,

It's ISO capibilities alone make it worth using. Everyone will tell you to go with Canon, and that's perfectly fine too. They both make great stuff. The key to sports, especially indoors, is glass. For basketball, volleyball and wrestling, I never leave home without my 70-200 2.8. Another great lense for indoor shooting is an 85 mm f1.4 prime lense. I shoot Nikon cameras because I like their lenses better. I got advice from a photographer when I was getting started who told me, when it comes to spending money, buy the cheaper camera and the best lense you can get. You can get a D40 now for under $500 US and a Sigma 70-200 2.8 for about $1000 US. @lee

You are going to love your D90. Nothing beats Nikon glass. As for the Nikon/Cannon debate, come on everyone, be nice. I shoot Nikon, a lot of my friends shoot Cannon and we all seem to get along just fine. Both are great tools. I'm the photographer, not my camera. @Patti_Trish7792
