Hey ladies! I am a total newbie to photography. I love my point and shoot camera but I would really like to get a DSLR. I have NO CLUE what to look for though, so I figure you ladies are the best in that department! And please remember to "dumb it down" for me since I am new to all of this!

What I really want is a good DSLR, but one that isn't TOO fancy. I am not looking to start my own photography business or anything like that at this time, I just want to be able to take great pictures and I want to be able to play around with different settings on a camera.

I want to have the option to buy more lenses in the future, but I am afraid they will cost a fortune and I won't be able too. So my ideal camera would have somewhat cheaper lenses. (I can't be spending $700-$1,000 for additional lenses, although maybe that is common?!?!) I want my camera to come with everything I need to get started without me wanting more immediately, if you know what I mean.

If you can give me any recomendations to look at I would really apprecitate it! Also, I plan to go look at cameras at a local store, but I know these things can be found online cheaper sometimes. Any sites you recommend?

Thanks in advance!
