Eddie, thanks for the link I'm still trying to figure out my D80 I bought a few months ago. The new lenses look very enticing

Nikon "sneak peaked" that camera and those lenses to us at Macworld Expo. That D60 looks like the perfect camera for a beginning DSLR'er.

I looked at the link and the D40 looks nice and easy... There is not much price difference between the D40 and the D80. I am just wondering if anyone has any opinons on which is the better buy. It looks like the D80 has more to offer... I am just checking out cameras, I am dreaming about adding a second camera so I would have a back up (the sony). I have really heard good things about Nikon... I have a sony now and really like it but want a little more.
Thanks
Jill

Do you mean the D40 or the D40X? The D40 is a 6 mega pixel camera the D40X and the D60 are 10 mega pixels. In Canada the D40X and the D60 list at the same price. The D60 is marginally a better camera but not so much that it is worth waiting a couple of weeks for if there is a D40X on the counter.

If you have the resources I would consider the D80 it has two great features going for it (among many). A top mounted control panel and the ability to use not motorized lenses. Neither one of these features will help you take better images but one will make your life easier and the other will give you a broader choice in lenses. The difference is about $250 so choice is yours.

It appears that the D60 will replace the D40x in the Nikon lineup, perhaps reducing some of the confusion around the naming of the recent proliferation of models.

My husband bought me the D60 for our anniversary & I love it so far. He has the D200 with several lenses that fit on mine. It is easy to handle. I am still getting used to having to change out lenses for what I want to take a photo of & he is helping me somewhat to get off Auto all the time. It is very lightweight & like some of it's features.

My Dream street photography machine, a full frame DSLR the size of the D60. I can dream right ?
