Reasonably priced DSLR?

I just lost my camera while at camp and am trying to make myself feel at least a little better by buying a nicer one. I don't know all that much about cameras, but I love taking pictures. I'm looking to spend around $400-$500 on a camera that'll last about four to five years.

I'd like optional manual focus (is that something all DSLR's come with? If you can't tell, I'm a complete novice), and I don't want to spend a bunch of money on lenses (so if there's one lens that's great for most things, I'd love your preferences on that too).So far the one I've liked most is the Nikon D3100, as well as the D3200.

I recently purchased the Nikon D3000, for £300.It was a great deal and is an excellent camera. I bought it from Argos, however it is available many places and is the cheapest best quality dslr

New, the least expensive is around $500… That's for a Canon t3.

There are some older models still available for around $450 possibly.

Check Amazon for all Canon dslr cameras… I think they still have some older models around.

DSLR's start at $500 with a lens. There's only one model to choose from. Go to http://bhphotovideo.com/...ovideo.com to look for it.
