Is this doable? My wife and I own a crummy Pentax P&amp;S, and we would like something better. She has shown a pretty good eye for photography, so I'd like to get her something to help her develop her skills. Most of our shots are of people, in low light conditions and with moving subjects.<br> <br> I've been thoroughly convinced that getting a fixed focal length lens is the way to go when moving into DSLR, and just avoiding the kit lens if at all possible. So my question is what DSLRs should we look at getting, and are there any nice combo deals that have just the body + 50mm prime lens we should look at? Is this possible to get while staying under roughly $600? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.92022 Wed, 21 May 2008 07:57:32 -0800 50mm camera dslr prime slr rsanheim http://ask.metafilter.com/4492/Photo%2DEquipment Besides B&amp;H, are there any reputable websites that have a good-sized inventory of gray market photography equipment?
