IMHO, if you don't have any lens, go for Canon or Nikon... just avoid Nikon D40/D40X and D60 as they can only auto-focus on AF-S or AF-I lens which most AF-S lens are quite expensive.

If you thinking of using it for astro also, go for Canon 450D.

Have a nice day.

I wish someone would have told me this before i bought my D40 a year ago, [smilie=evil-smile.gif]

The lenses are really quite expensive, thinking of switching to Canon. [smilie=bleeding.gif]

The 450D is around $1150 for the body and kit lens at the moment

I came across this at S&T, a filter snap system for Canon EOS DSLR. They have filters for converted DSLR to take terrestial photo as usual too.
