Hi, I want to learn more about photography. I have been taking amateurish photos for about 6 years with a point and shoot Canon Powershot. I want to buy a DSLR for xmas. After doing a 10 minute research I found this

http://cgi.ebay.com/Nikon-D60-Digital-SLR-Camera-Body-Kit-D-60-1YR-Warranty_W0QQitemZ350295090924QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDigital_Cameras?hash=item518f36e6ec

Can anyone tell me what they think. What lenses shoot I get for entry level photography, and what kinds of manuals should I buy?

I’m running into hard times financially. My hours have been cut at work, my mom is disabled. My sister and I both pay the bills, she’s already given her two weeks notice and she’s leaving her job, but doesn’t have another lined up. So who knows how long I’ll be doing it by myself.

I was going to buy a digital SLR before I go to Florida, which is in 3 weeks, but now I’m not sure if I should. SLR’s are the camera’s that professionals use. I was going to buy an entry level one and it costs about 0. Should I save my money until things get better or should I stick with my plan to buy a DSLR before I go on my trip? If I don’t buy one, I still have a camera to take pics with, they just won’t be as beautiful. I think I might feel guilty if I spent the money now. Should I stick to my gut feeling and wait?
The one I was going to buy is called the Nikon D60, and I was also interested in the Canon xsi.
I have some savings, it’s not a lot. I think it’s enough to pay the bills for about 3 months. Getting a used one sounds like a great idea, how do I know if it’s actually a good camera (meaning, not broken or defective)?
I’m not paying for the trip to Florida, my boyfriend is. Well..he’s paying for a majority of the trip, I am just paying for half of the hotel cost. He won’t lend me the money for the DSLR because I already have a point and shoot. He thinks that there is no need for a new camera because I got the one last year.

I always knew I liked photography, I just didn’t know much about it. Now I know that my current camera is limiting. It’s holding me back from discovering my potential. If I have no talent, at least I’d have a camera that takes great photos. I think I will get the D40…eventually. Thanks a lot.

I do know that d3000 was designed as an entry level model, and it is currently in production. But the d60 is classified as a ‘mid range’ model on wikipedia, but is an older model, as the d5000 was now replaced it.

The Nikon d60 and d3000 is the same price (both NZ00). I just wanted to know which is the better camera for a dslr beginner.

And is Nikon actually the brand of DSLR to go for?

Thanks for your help

So i’m looking to upgrade from my standard point and shoot camera, and I’m looking for something more technical.
I’ve been doing a bit of research and the camera’s i have in mind are:
Canon eos 450d
canon eos 1000d
nikon d3000
nikon d60

From the above camera’s, which do you recommend for someone new to DSLR’s. Please state if there’s another camera you have in mind.

I have been looking into DSLR’s and am having trouble trying to decided which to buy. I have decided to go for the camera brands as I know they make the best. Being an amateur I do not need the top of the line, so looking at entry levels. I have narrowed it down to the Canon XTi, Nikon D60, and the Pentax K200D. Are there many differences between these models? How about features? Durability? Battery life?

well…i just bought a sony 18-70mm dslr camera;

i’ve been told that its the best entry-level (for a beginner like me…hehe). The basic spec was at rm1700, but with some necessary items and warranty, the final price is bit more than 2k…so when i told some of my so-called ‘pro’ frens…. they told me i shud’ve opt for a nikon d60 instead….*sigh…
yaya..it has everything to do with the price, if i add another 2-300, dah dapat nikon d60 dah..

n i’m just orang kayap living on a maybank 0% interest plan….huhuhu…

Just purchased the Nikon D3000 entry level dslr camera. If there are any Nikon experts out there, I am trying to figure out if I can upload a custom tone curve, or a picture control style to my new camera. I haven’t read anything in the Manual about this function (Which was possible with my Nikon D60). Probably not. If anyone is REAL FAMILIAR with this camera please advise.

Hello!
I am looking to buy an entry level DSLR camera, but am very confused on which one to opt for! I am 14 years old, and mostly do fashion shoots, though enjoy doing all other types of photography! I have looked at the:
Nikon D40
NIkon D60
Canon 1000D
Sony alpha 200
Pentax K200.
I am not sure which to opt for, but will go and have a look at all these models. If anyone has any ideas as to which would be the best for me then i would be grateful!
Oh, and i wouldnt be printing pictures any bigger than A4!
