    I went with the D90. I liked the 18-105 lens that came with it, still allowed close ups but gave some more range over the 55. I also added a 70-300 for long shots. Just make sure to get the VR lens.

    Had my buddy's Canon 40D the other day. I have no skills at this yet, but I think I'm going to start trying to learn some of this:

    Heres a couple ive taken with my 3000. Hasnt let me down yet. I would have said if you could save up more go with the d90 because i have one of those as well and you can definitally see the difference between that and the 3000.
