Question please

[Shabby]

In the next few weeks/months I'll be going to the Dominican Republic and to Europe (respectively), and I'd like to have pictures as a keepsake for Europe, and also as a promotion of further help in the DR. I've read about a lot of cameras but digital SLR's appear to be the best route to go if I want to have a camera that will long be not only a good camera but durable.

Will that camera be suitable? Will it be OK at that price, or will other costs be included in this? I don't have enough money to shell out for an expensive memory card - is the one included enough?

This is a great camera, and like all things, it pays to shop for price. I think they probably will charge Insurance and packing costs, it's best to find out about that by contacting them.
It always pays to have a memory card on hand even if it is only a 200 one then you can go back through the photo's and delete which ones you don't like while they are still in the camera.

This camera is very light and compact and would do everything you'd want it to do. The SLR is a firm favorite with photographers.

The Nikon D40 is a great entry level digital SLR and will give you more than enough options.
Also check out the Canon Rebel XT. They go for around the same price.

www.bhphotovideo.com has great prices and great service.
