I'm looking to get into an Entry level DSLR camera. I've never owed one before so this will be my first time using a camera with manual settings, changeable lens..etc

Couple people have recommended the Nikon D5000 already. I've also heard its better to get a decent body and save the extra money for good lens.

I will be shooting mostly outdoors, wildlife, pics of the dog and kids, and maybe some sports stuff (nothing professional).

Budget will be hopefully under $800 or so.. says the wife

Let me know what you think
