I'm not a techno genius, but am looking for a decent DSLR giving me the most bang for the buck probably under $1K. While looking for a cheapo waterproof camera for a trip I saw some DSLRs on walmart.com that I am considering.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Nikon-10.2-MP-D3000-Kit-WM/13013045
Probably the most basic, but like I said I am looking for something relatively simple that will take good quality pictures.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Nikon-D5000-Digital-SLR-Kit/11037794
The price doesn't show up but it is $645. This one interested me due to the 18-105mm lens. That being said, I am still trying to find out exactly what lens I would even need. I am open to advice on that especially.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Nikon-D50...-200mm-Non-VR-Zoom-Lens-Bundle-Offer/11714567
This seems like quite a deal, but again I don't know enough to be sure. Do I need that type of lens?
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Pentax-12.4-MP-15801/12534891
Price on this one is $712 and it comes with two lenses. I'm leaning this way, but have no experience with Pentax.

Threw this one in as a cheapie, but I don't know if the lens will be good enough.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sony-Alpha-A230-Slr-Digital/11089350
Another cheapie. I'm not opposed to spending twice this much, but only if cost/benefit makes it worthwhile.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sony-10-MP-DSLR-A330Y/11089354
Basically the same as the one above it, but with two lenses for $100 more.
I'm also not opposed to shopping elsewhere, but a quick internet comparison didn't find me better prices anywhere. So basically I guess I am asking what MP do I need? What mm lens is most important? Are there any brands to avoid? Any other input would also be appreciated!
