I am considering taking a course in nature photograhpy and it requires a SLR Digital Camera. I have been doing some research on the camera's. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Basically, of the camera's listed below, what would be the top to 2 or 3 camera's to consider.
1) Nikon D40X
2) Olympus Evolt E-420
3) Sony Alpha a100
4) Olympus E-510
5) Canon Digital Rebel XS
6) Nikon D60
7) Canon Digital Rebel Xsi
8) Canon Digital Rebel Xti/Canon 400D
9) Sony Alpha A300
Answer
Sony A200 that comes with the 18-70mm lens $499/£245.
Add Minolta AF lenses that you can buy off eBay or from used camera shops, these are from the 1980's and are excellent on the Sony.
The Minolta MA mount (not MD/MC) is the same as the Sony A mount, so these lenses work with metering, auto-focus and image stabilisation (which is bulit into the sony's camera body). There are old lenses available from Sigma and Tamron too.
Of course you can buy new lenses from Sony, Sigma and Tamron if you wish, but why bother?
The Nikon D40/D40X and D60 do not have an auto-focus motor, so if you buy old lenses you will be stuck in manual focusing. Of course you will not get image stabilisation on these old Nikon lenses either.
If you can get a really cheap A100 then go for it, but usually the A200 is so cheap it is not worth buying a used A100.

i am going to Kauai this summer, but i want a "professional" camera to take vivid pictures of wildlife... its sort of a hobby, but that's the least expensive one and i don't want to get anything over 200 dollars. if this isn't as good as another one in my budget, let me know. finding any other reviews not in camera language would help a lot...
since its not going to take national geographic pics, does it at least have stuff where if it moves it still takes good pics?
Answer
I think that what you really need is some training in photography if you want good pictures - not a better camera. There are many sources online as well as in books. Try http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials.htm to start with.
