Which Digital SLR is best for me?
I am looking for a digital SLR that will fill my needs. I am finding that many have far more advantages than I will ever use and am wondering if I will be paying for things that I really don't need. I used a 35mm film camera for 30 years. I am most comfortable with setting my own shutter speed and exposure. I don't feel that I need special labeling like portrait mode, landscape, etc.
I was looking at the Nikon D80 and the Canon Rebel XTi. I have been using the Sony Cybershot for several years and can't see my subjects facial expressions through it's view finder. I long for my old SLR.
I recently handled the Nikon D80 in a store and looked through the view finder , and thought "aaaaahhhh " , that's more like it. I could see everything. There are many other cameras made by Nikon and Canon with various features. I liked the large body of the D80. My main use , of course , would be portrait photography in low light. I plan to get the Sigma 30 mm f/1.4 and the 50 mm f/1.8 and a good fast "normal" telephoto lens to go with the camera body.
What recommendations do you all have for my camera body purchase? Do I really need the most expensive body?
