Your criteria, not mine.

But of course: not comparable in other ways.

Buying a dSLR doesn't make you a photographer,
it makes you a dSLR owner.

Good luck finding that, John.

nope??? i know people who bought a nikon d50 at $379 from a nikon
dealer. i also seem to recall the pentax k110d being even less.

right now the nikon d40 with a lens is $469 at b&h, but i've seen it
for less (and from reputable merchants not sleaze). there are quite a
few dslrs between $400 and $500 from pentax, olympus, sony, nikon and
canon.
