If it does not have to be a new camera , then I suggest a Nikon flagship , a D1/D1x fer example., including a small zoom , those can be had for the price you mentioned , with the possibility to upgrade The nikkor lens range is extensive , used Nikkors come in every flavor , for a reasonable price ..and there are forums that deal with D1/D1x owners , lots of feedback ,ye will never be alone.
Good Luck!

ALL
are good if your criteria is that you can get better lenses later on.
$500 is just under the cost of an entry level dSLR, ($550 to $900)
This statement sort of bothers me, ” I guess it might be better to start of with a beginner camera, but hopefully one that has more features I can look into after I get bored of the basics” Until just a while ago, photographers had no choice. Features were NOT available other than adjusting the shutter speed, the lens aperture, choosing different lenses or film types. If those basics bored someone, they were soon finding a different hobby.
Those who stuck with it and learned the fundamentals of photography, eventually became excellent photographers and learned how to create something without depending upon “features” an engineer dreamed up for the creatively challenged.
Learning the basics is what becoming a photographer is all about, not learning which buttons to push or how to save bad images using a $1,000 program
You are right about the lack of control when using a P&S camera. The lack of control is for those who do NOT want to learn the basics, so for better or worse, you will need to learn the basics
At present, the most bang for the buck is the $700 Nikon D3100, however if strapped, the Nikon D3000 or Canon 1000D/SX come in at $550

First, for the serious photographer, a point and shoot sucks. Period.
For about $500, you can get a point and shoot that looks like an SLR.
For a REAL SLR, that has REAL control (for GOOD photos) you want to spend about $1000.
Pros all use Nikon. There’s a reason for it…when you move up to a better body, more of the accessories will still work.
Go D70 or bigger.

Yeah, in your budget, the Nikon D3000 is worth a look (although the D3100 is a very nice upgrade) as is the Canon 1000D. The Pentax K-r is a nice camera, but over budget, so look at the K-x. Good camera.

I would probably recommend the Pentax K-r as a really good camera to be moving on with. It has all the usual program modes as well as aperture priority, shutter priority and full manual. I think it will cost between $500 and $550 with an 18-55mm lens.
It might be worth looking at the Nikon D3100 as well.

Another point. When adjusting your diopter, adjust it so the numbers in your viewfinder meter readings are sharp. Don’t try to adjust it to what you are seeing through the lens. You can even adjust the diopter with no lens on the camera, which is how it was always best done on older manual focus cameras.

There is a little dial to the right of your viewfinder. Turn it until your image becomes clear

If you had ever really read your manual, you would have learned a LOT of really useful stuff.
One of the things you would have learned is all about a little diopter wheel next to your viewfinder.
Grab your book now – or download a new one if you lost it – and learn about it.
Then adjust it and enjoy clear vision for the first time.
