Photo album

Hello, I'm a photo enthusiast who never passed to digital.

Now I need to buy a new reflex, digital, for a photo album project.

Any suggestions? I don't want to spend too much.

Manuel,

Two suggestions:

1 - ask in the newsgroup: rec.photo.digital.slr-systems, which is devoted
to DSLR cameras and their accessories. I'll cross-post there and set
follow-ups for you.

2 - for low cost, but good quality, you could look at the Nikon D40 with
its 18 - 55mm kit lens. Add extra lenses as you need them. It has good
low-light performance, and its 6MP may suit your project well. You may
even be able to get a Nikon rebate and make the cost even less.

Cheers,
David

Well, what size prints do you need? You did ask for low-cost, and to me
the description "photo album" implies rather small prints. 6MP will
easily do A4 size (or 10 x 8 inches). And there is a 10MP variant - the
D40X - as Bruce mentioned.
