- Canon 1000D
- Pentax K-x
- Nikon D5000
- Sony Alpha range
I'm looking also at getting 1 of the above as a 1st time user. they all seem to be in or around the low €400 mark
2 questions....
1. are they easy to use. Can you be overwhlemed by the amount of options on them, so much so that you just use the standard setting and thus get no real benefit
2. how easy is it for an amature photographer to get quality prints, especially in lage sizes? Is it possible to get the same standard photos as your would from a professional by using say, online sites such as Kodak or Photoshop?
thanks
What is also important to remember about DSLR's is that they are very much the same and that the distinguishing factors are the lenses that are used with the camera.
You should consider what type of photos you will want to take with your camera and research the type and cost of lenses associated with this.

This is crucial. There is very little to separate those three cameras in terms of quality or features. But if your wife prefers the 'feel' of one over the other, it will make a heck of a difference to her enjoyment using the camera.I'm going to complete my online searching this weekend and pay a visit to an actual camera shop to make a final decision.
Micro-Four-Thirds Camera Format Information
The micro-four-thirds (MFT) system camera format was a jointly developed initiative by [broken link removed] and [broken link removed] to create a more compact alternative to the often bulky [broken link removed]. In contrast to dSLRs, the MFT cameras do not house an internal mirror which helps contribute to a smaller and lighter camera body, and the MFT camera lenses are smaller than DSLR lenses too, making the micro four thirds system cameras an ideal portable option for professional photographers and enthusiasts. Inside an MFT camera is a sensor that’s 9 times larger than the image sensor found in a typical [broken link removed], allowing MFT cameras to capture greater detail in particularly difficult and challenging light conditions.
