I am looking for a decent SLR camera. I do not need anything super fancy, just something better then my simple point and shoot. While it does a great job, it does not take overly fantastic photos. It is a Sony Cybershot DSC-W370.
I am looking to spend no more then $200 shipped to my door.
I am looking for the body, a lens or two, the battery/charger should be in good condition, a strap would be nice too, but not needed. Megapixals: the higher the better. I will not be picky though. Let me know of the shot count on the camera too.
Please let me know what you have.
Donation are welcome too :)

Post or PM.
Thanks so much!

    When I saw your title I thought you meant an SLR "film" camera. Guess us older folks still think of SLR film cameras as the only SLR's around yet...

    I guess I should have been more specific. Sorry about that.

    Dont carried away with thinking the more pixels the better... Its more about the sensor or processor. 6mp would be plenty for most with just about any modern dslr. Id take a look at the nikon D70 used right now. Prices are low. Should be able ro find just what your looking for in your price range. Check ebay. Ive seen a few on there today while looking for one for my dad..

    I certainly understand being budget conscious but for a DSLR, with lens, shipped and I assume you want one in good working order; you may need to up your price to about $250-$275. I have seen the D70 on ebay going for about $130 + ship body only. The D70 is a nice camera but for slightly more, I recommend the D70s. The D50 also a nice choice and, while having less features than the D70s, it is actually a newer design.

    Adorama sells used dlsr's also. Good company imo. Ive bought from them many times.

    Also call around to your local camera shops for used cameras. Tell them what your looking spend and they might have something as well. Thats how i found my nikon d40x..

    Alright, the D70. I will check that out. Up my price limit, It will be a few weeks before that can happen. I will keep an eye out for that.
    Thanks for the tips.
