<p>[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 2120060, member: 46237"]Ok so I've done some reading on the suggestions above and on the setups you guys listed. I'm thinking a good entry level DSLR for my purposes would be a Nikon D80 or a Canon EOS 40D.</p><p><br /></p><p>It looks like the software for tethering the Canon is free, but is something like $150 for the Nikon. Both cameras look to go for around $150-200 used (body only). It seems like older models don't go down that much in price from that point, but the next models up (D90 and 50D) are about double that price used. I'm not sure if that would be worth it or not for the step up, but I'm thinking it would be better to stick with a D80/40D and put the extra money into a macro lens instead. I haven't looked into macro lenses yet though. Any comments on these models or on macro lenses would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
