Camera?

My parent's just bought a D60 + 55-200 lens at best buy on Friday...sounds like it was a pretty good deal. No idea if it's nice cuz they haven't taken it out of the box yet though.

I like Nikon, however when it came to price, features and just taking good pictures. (price per megapixel mainly) it came down to the fact that i had about 5 to 6 hundred dollars to spend on a dslr, so the choice for me was between the Nikon D40 and the Sony alpha 200, the Nikon being 499, and having 8 megapixlels? or close to it. and the Sony being 500 and having 10.2 megapixels, i went with the Sony. The real nice thing with the Sony is you can have full manual control like an slr should be, but the automatic setting are very similar to a sony point and shoot camera, so if you are familiar with a sony point and shoot and you dont want to deal with the slr settings it is still a nice camera that takes really nice pictures. Here are a few that i took one night outta boredom.http://fargostreet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14804:icon_salut:

But seriously its not all about mega pixels, but with they type of camera style rexwagon is talking about (aka the type he should get) around 10 is perfect.No, the advice you're missing is: megapixels don't mean dick without good glass. If you get kit glass you may as well be shooting with 6MP

I have lenses that cost more than the camera.......
The thing still out shoots me which is why I haven't upgraded to anything "current" yet. I'm a firm believer in the Canon camp. My recommendation for a noob is XTi/XSi with battery grip and an assortment of glass. Go from there.

They are small but with a grip they are alot more usable.

6mp on a point and shoot and 6mp on a dslr is a totally different ballgame. Sensor size has a lot to do with it. Shooting with the kit lens isn't a bad deal if the operator knows what they are doing.

Sure a skilled photographer with a kit lens can shoot better pictures than a novice can with quality glass, but shitty glass is always going to hold you back.

I never said the kit lens dominates them all. Very quality pics can be taken with it though. It's an under-rated lens. If you know what you are doing you can make your pics stand out even with a point and shoot. I rarely use mine anymore but learned a lot from using it when I started.
