I am looking for my first dslr camera, and I need recomendations. I would like a camera that is budget friendly and also has budget friendly lenses. Thank you so much for the help in advance.

The canon rebel series is good bang for the buck, plus they have tons of lenses available. Nikon also has a decent range of budget friendly options. Do your homework as the Nikon d5000 will only work with some lenses where the canons will work with virtually all lenses (of course you will have a 1.5-1.6 multiplication factor for most lenses). If you are not opposed to the idea there are a lot of available used DSLRs in both brands as well as lenses. Lenses tend to hold value much better than bodies over time so it may be wise to spend more on the lenses than on the body. Cheers.

Best advice I can give you is to go into the store & handle several brands/models. Most major brands will give you great results once you know their strengths & weaknesses, but if it doesn't feel good in your hands (too big/too small, awkward control layout) it doesn't matter how good it may be. Plus, everyone is different, whats is good to me may not be to you. So get out to a store & try them out !

I would highly recommend Nikon D90, and you can find some really good deals on Ebay for the camera and lenses.
