alright /p/, my boyfriend is buying me a camera for my birthday and has his mind set on a Nikon but he wants me to choose between a d60 or d40. Granted, i have never used a slr camera before (old school 35mm, stuck in a dark room, trying to explain to people why i smell like fixer fag here) and i don't know which to pick. Can you guys give me some suggestions? he only wants to spend arround 600 bucks.

Used D50 or used/clearance D80.

D50, 40, and 60 have viewfinders too small to focus with, but only the D50 will autofocus with most lenses.

D80 is of course the best option, but if that's out of the question, D50.

as long as you are choosing between two shit cameras, you might as well get the cheaper one and spend the money you saved on lenses.

Also, don't bother with D60... get a D80 if you can afford it, a D50 if you can't and a D40 if you can't find a D50

There's a bunch of D50s on eBay, he shouldn't have a problem finding one.

thats a good deal but get the canon 450D / Xti Rebel
they are better than nikon d80

mind you that is a good price for nikon... i would buy then resell since thats only £400 i would buy then sell for about £700 (RRP = £800 +)
then buy a cheaper camera (canon 450 = about £400) and buy some lenses

You can get d80 bodies for around £380 second hand pretty easily now days.

Everyone is rushing to sell them to get the D90.. to bad when they fork out an extra £400+ for the D90, they'll then realise it wasn't worth upgrading too.

the only camera you will ever need is the nikon d40. it takes professional quality photographs in auto mode
