Get a canon
Don't really know much about Nikons in general but I'm sure the camera experts here can help you.

I have a D40 which i got for my birthday a couple years back. Its perfect for getting to know a camera and getting to know how to shoot with the differentfeatures it offers.

thanks for the info! From what I've read the d40 and d60 are pretty much the same camera except for a few things. Do those features justify the extra $?
My budget is sub $400-500 at the moment. What camera besides the d40 would you guys recommend for someone thats getting their first slr?

I highly recommend the d40 for a starter. Its def a beginners camera.. and its cheaper than a canon.. I use a d40 and love it

Go with a canon haha. Seriously though, I think they are better cameras. You can get a used rebel xti for in or below your price range. IMO, they are betterthan a nikon D40. Check out the listings on this site. http://photography-on-the.net/forum/index.php . Some good used gear.

Here's the best advice I can give bro. Go to a store and try out both Nikon and Canon. The one that feels better in your hands is the one you go with.

so i just finally discovered the absolute greatness when shooting in RAW.. the only thing is, i hate opening every single file on its own and working on itrather than just batch processing everything. unless you can do that?

Don't get me wrong, RAW is definitely appreciated, but sometimes annoying.

use bridge to view your cr2 files =]
no point in shooting raw just to process to jpeg without editing...
i edit through PS & camera Raw. then i downsize my big to 8bit, and save the jpge copy.
just got home from a long day of shooting... i have 800 pics from today
