ANSWER:-
Things to look for when buying your first dslr:
- Price. Far from me to tell anyone how to spend their hard earned cash, but having an idea of what money you want to pay will help.
- Ergonomics. Does the body feel good in your hands? What about when you have your lens attached?
- What brand? I'm a fan of Canon. Nikon is equally awesome. There are other brands as well, but I recommend the big two: Canon and Nikon.
- Beginner/creative modes. Since this is your first camera, having modes that do some automation will ease you into using an SLR.
- Entry Level/ Prosumer Level body. If you have a sufficient budget, consider which would serve you better: Buying a more expensive body now, with features that you can grow with, or a less expensive body with fewer features, leaving you more cash more lenses. In terms of producing great images the chain of importance goes: Photographer >>> Lens > Camera Body.
My first dSLR was a Canon 20D, a prosumer body. I chose it because I have larger hands, and the 20D size and weight felt better (twss), and I wanted something I could grow with.
