Yeah that would be 500USD. I considered a SLR but so far I have been hard pressed to find one that comes with len9s) for under 800USD and for where I am at that is outs my price range atm. My paln was pick up one of these SLR styles that have a optical zoom of atleast 10 and that would hold me over for atleast the year next tax return season will be better for me this year is full of obligations. Oh and plan on a ton of questions from me.
