I think that depends on what the out-of-focus picture was. Sigh. I'm still p.o.'ed at the random stranger I handed my carefully FOCUSED Olympus OM-10 (loaded with ISO 1200 film) to the night I got to have my picture taken with Jeremy Brett--and she "refocused" it, so all I have is fuzzy outlines.

Thanks! I keep finding ways to add to it...

Yeah, D40 or XT are in the price range. But does the budget also have to cover another lens? Because if so, then I'd vote for a used 6MP dRebel (~$350). Which leaves $150-$250, which could get a 50mm f/1.8, a Tamron 70-300 DO, a Vivitar 285HV and ebay triggers, or a good tripod. .
