My wife has a professional business she runs, her favorite was the Olympus 420, still uses it today. That should be found, with the 18-55, under your amount. The battery lasted 3 months (we dont use the live view unless we use it for fun)

I think Nikon in the lower price point makes better cameras.

I own a D300 and while in the upper tier is amazing.
