re: Good camera deal?

My dad taught photography for many years, so I'll get some pointers from him on the way to get good shots. I'm vaguely familiar with aperture and shutter speed and whatnot. I by no means know what I'm doing, but I can learn that. My dad taught mostly in the era of 35mm film, so he's not much of a resource when it comes to newer digital cameras. Plus he's a cheapo, so he'd call me crazy for spending $600 no matter what.
I just made an offer to the guy based on prices I saw for this particular model. I have no idea if there was a better bang for my buck out there. Doesn't really matter now, was just curious.

Your offer probably is a fine deal - *if* you know how to shoot, play in Photoshop, etc.
But this tells me otherwise.
SLR's really are better cameras but your basic phone camera is perfectly fine for "memory" shots. In the hands of a skilled photographer who already knows aperture and exposure, and knows when to override the auto setting and exactly how, a DSLR will be better. Otherwise you're wasting money.
