Hi all,
Firstly, let me state that I don't want to be a professional photographer, I have no intention of going to school and trying to making a living out of this, i'll leave that one to the pro's! I do however want to take great pictures of my daughter (mainly). I currently have a powershot S5IS 8m/p (which has been great although very basic)
but want to upgrade to a DSLR...
I have been looking at both the Nikon D60 and the D5000. Its to take pictures of family and I want something that I can grow with. I would rather not spend more than $800- $1000 as I might buy another lense in a couple of months. Are there any other cameras you might reccomend?
Also is there any books that are reccomended for Digital photography? If I had the time i'd take a class but with a newborn its hard to get out much
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated!
