Which one do you think I should get? I was thinking about getting the D40 at first, but I saw how grainy the pictures were. Then, I looked at the D60 pics and I saw they were OK. The D80 and D90 pictures are great. They look superb...
However, I saw all these images on Nikon's site, so I'm not exactly sure if it's the camera or the type of lens they were using. It's possible that they used a superior lens on a superior camera.
Then on amazon.com, I saw a great deal on the Nikon D80.

This one costs only 800 dollars and it comes with a 18-135 mm Zoom Lens.
Great deal.
However, I was wondering if I was better going with the D40 or D60 and upgrading lenses, or getting a superior model?
For the record, I was interested in doing a lot of focus shots. Is the D40 or D60 good for that?

As a Canon girl, I"m not very familiar with Nikons, but the principle remains the same:
what really, really counts are the lenses you buy!!!
Camera bodies get old and we replace them, but our lenses stay with us. Buy only the very best, you'll regret the others too soon.
If necessary, buy the cheapest body for now, learn with it, grow with it, then some day replace it.
i latterly offered the D80 and that i like it. i comprehend the D40 is a handbook digicam. which skill you will ought to purchase a vehicle concentration lens for the digicam to vehicle concentration. in case you have a non vehicle concentration lens, you will ought to manually concentration on your concern. while i offered my d80 it additionally got here with the 18-135mm. so some distance i admire that lens. No problems with it. My husband additionally likes it, as we additionally upgraded his digicam to the d80. i do no longer understand plenty relating to the d60 or d90. one element i did no longer like relating to the d60 is (if I submit to in techniques properly) it purely had 3 concentration factors. pictures that seem grainy could be noise. Noise is brought about by skill of a severe ISO or decrease shutter velocity. you will get noise in all digital cameras (based what your settings are...you will see alot or little). Now I purely look at nikon web content and the photos for the d40 i do no longer locate grainy. i will assure the photos on nikon's internet site to teach for each digicam have been taken by skill of a expert with no foul lens.
