so whats the best dslr under $500? id perfer somehing not from canon, as they dont refresh their image sensors. something from olympus or nikon. ill be using the stock lens for quite a long time before i get a better lens. the more important parts is the amount of megapixels it can take. (not sure if i worded that right.) but yeah.

 

Thanks :)

Well if your budget is only $500, there are not that many options available to you and if you prefer Olympus or Nikon look at their DSLRs that fall within your budget.

Megapixels are NOT important

You can get a D3300 for about $500 - if not a D3200 would be a good option and might let you buy another lens like a nice fast prime
