Okay so I was going to pickup an alternate carry gun with my allowance, but wife and I want to start a family next year so I am thinking about a DSLR instead. I have wanted a DSLR for a while now, and every time I get the cash together I get a gun instead. I really like the size of the Nikon d90, but a d7000 was recommended over it. The d7000 is out of my price range. Budget is $750-$1,000 I can add lenses and other accessories down the road. I've looked at d90, d3000, xsi, t2i, t3i, and others. Most of these are Greek to me. I have a canon super zoom now. I can also upgrade cameras later which is why I am leaning towards the XSI. I don't need video capabilities really.
