Anyways I am going to start with entry level/budget DSLRs
1st up is
**Canon EOS 1000D (Rebel XS / Kiss F)
**
One of the most inexpensive among top 4 brands(Canon, Nikon, Olympus and Sony Alpha). It is a successor of EOS 300D which was launched in 2003 and was regarded as the 1st affordable DSLR. Current predecessor is EOS 450D which offer a great feature set and image quality.
