Scott,

I also just got a Nikon D40X for Christmas - my first Digital SLR, but I love it!! 10.1 mp, package deal that included both 18-55 & 55-200 lenses, and carrying case. I take it everywhere now... Here's a sample pic - keep in mind I'm still learning EVERYTHING about taking pics but you get the drift...

Kick ass, Ryan. :thumbsup:

Do I need to change your screen name from Ryans67deuce to Ryans69camaro? :D

I was thinking of getting that same camera. How do you like it?

More like RyansExtremelyLowBudgetStreetFighterCamaro... :lol:

I've been extremely happy with it. like I said, I am a complete novice, but I can't believe some of the pics i have taken with it... For the price - $750 for the pkg, I don't think you can beat it...

Well I finally bought a camera over the weekend though it wasn't the one I was asking about. My wife wanted to keep the cost around $200 and being I just dropped some cash on having my wheels widened I wasn't going to debate with her about the camera. So we agreed on a Canon PowerShot A720 IS.

Now I can update my build thread with pictures.

I got a nice gently used D70 for Christmas, and I LOVE it! I take it everywhere I can, and shoot whatever catches my eye.

Shiny Side Up!

I run a Pentax K100D with a 18-55 and 55-200 lenes. The Image stablization is awesome, you can handhold down to a really slow shutter without blur. Once you get the manual mode down on any DSLR you'll be rockin. I actually do want to go buy a P&S though for times I dont want to risk my DSLR! (parties, ect)

just bought this camera, this is a great site for camera reviews and very unbiased.

Hi Guys

I purchased a used D60 from a friend several years ago and am just getting into it, this is a shot i took of my 9 yr old before i understood this thing, i shot this with a EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens, seems ok for an amature.
I'm looking for some editing and managment software of my pictures, any sugestions out there, I will take maybe 1000 pictures on the weekends of her Soccer games and its a bitch to go through.

Thanks
