EggHead,

I would say welcome to The Photo Forum, but as you can see, this is my first post as well. As far as you camera ideas, please consider the Canon Rebel EOS XS or XSi or T1i. I understand the prices go up for the latter, but the Canon XS (base camera) competes with the Nikon D60 in terms of performance. After a little haggling with Dell, and yes they do beat prices, I recieved my Rebel XS with free 2-day shipping for $496.00. That is the total paid.

Just food for thought. Again, please compare side-by-side and let me be the first to welcome you to the board.

I've had both the D40 and the D60, for my use I prefer the D60 for the Active D-Lighting option alone, not to mention the other small goodies it packs. The main advantage of the D40 is faster flash sync.

Just curious on what your research discovered. Look forward to seeing your first shot.
