There are a lot of excellent DSLR cameras available, with a fair price range. Remember to take into account the quality of the lenses. A great camera with a crappy lens won't get you the same results as a great camera with a great lens. Do some research using Google and you're more likely to find the best combo (camera/lens) for your needs and budget.
I too am looking into a dslr to start into hobby photography. and was looking at the nikon D60 and D40. probably end up with the 60 cause the 40 seems to be somewhat difficult to find because of its age.
I have a canon Rebel XSI, but right now I think the new rebel or the D90 is the best thing going for the money..
I got the chance last weekend to use a D40 side by side with my XSI..
I must say, the canon takes the cake IMO hands down....

The Nikon D5000 is a great camera for the money..its basically a D90 with a few less features. It has a 12.3MP, 1024X768 video capability and can be had for around $800 with the Nikon 18-55mm lens. I am using a Nikon P5100 P&S camera, its 12mp and it has the ability to swap out lenses even though it is a P&S camera..a few recent pics.
I have a Nikon D5000 coming, can't wait to get it.

the cool thing about DSLRs is not just the quality of picture but the things you can do with a lens.
This is just s simple shot with an aperture setting of f3.0..
notice how things in the fore ground are out of focus while the car is in focus. With something set more like F8 everything would have been in focus, but less light would have came into the camera so a longer shutter speed would have been used ..
In a very very very short summary, you balance shutter speed with how much light enters the camera

What is your budget?

I am a pro photog, and I absolutely love the nikon's baby!! Been using them over ten years and have never let me down. I am using the D3 right now. I also have a D700. Both are fantastic. I would get the D90, or the D5000. Just don't go cheap on glass. Lenses are the most important part of the equation. G/L
Good advice..what do you think about the Nikons image being a little soft? I know this is an issue of the way the photo is processed and can be corrected in the RAW image. I just keep reading that the Canons image is a little sharper than the Nikon.
