You know today I came in and was thinking of creating a new thread regarding help for "buying a DIGITAL CAMERA". But now it seems if I do that, I'll be shot dead..
So I better use this thread if
stmoritzer, has finished his quest on finding the "right" CAM.
I am looking forward to buying a professional CAM for my brother. I am not much into technicalitiies, so I have short listed about 4 of pretty decent SLR (ish) cams.
Canon Digital Rebel XT (released in 2005):

They are'nt similarly priced, so my budget is fairly flexible. I want to give him something that he'll proudly carry around. He's not a professional photographer, but photography is his major hobby and has had some amazing Cameras (old ones). I also dont mind giving him a Hasselblad H1 with a digital back, but thats quite a bit expensive and dont know if its any practical for an enthusiast!
More suggestions would be welcome. Anything from :
6+ MegaPixels
4x+ Optical Zoom (lenses are his choice so he'll buy what he wants)
Cam and a default lense worth anywhere between 800 to 1500 USD.
Most manual features and specs, and SLR preffered!
This better be worth it, as am not buying a scheduled new notebook, I was saving for since 2 years..
Thank you.
