Hello

I have been thinking about going DSLR and would like a little help
making
up
my mind.
Right now I am using a Nikon Cool Pix 8400.
I only do indoor photography and don't mind working with a tri-pod.
$2,000 is what I can spend total on a new DSLR, Shoe Flash? and a New
Tri-pod.
I like wide angle but not curved pictures, Something user friendly.

any suggestions would be great.

Thank you

Jenny

Wait 2 months for new models to come out. New ones will be better,
old ones will be cheaper.

a couple of weeks ago I would have replied with "wouldn't that always be
the
case"
but just last night I was telling a friend that I would feel safer when
today's models become cheaper
than getting an older one now. I didn't think 2 months would be enough
time. One model that caught my eye is the Canon EOS-1D Mark II N. A
friend
did recommend the Canon 20D. Because I travel a lot I would like one
that
is pretty strong.
I guess I will hand around the digital groups for a while sharpening my
skills.

No, go take pictures to sharpen your skills.

I just came back from taking 98 at one location.
This time while very rare I also took some outdoor shots of the backyard.
For me its a hobby but I am also trying to help out a friend that is in the
real estate business.
I get to (hopefully) learn something that I will enjoy and help a friend at
the same time.
Right now its a cool pix camera and that probably would make my questions
off topic.
I already deleted the really bad pics and now its time to see if I can make
the good ones even better in Photoshop.
Anyway I hope you guys can help me make a good choice in my first DSLR.
