I've been looking at DSLRs and am not sure which one to get. Im not trying to spend a lot of money. I've been looking at D3000, D40x, D40, and D60. Anyone have any suggestions?

Well i know how to work a D5000. All i have right now is a Powershot with manual settings. I have a macbook pro with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3, which im pretty familier with. I like to take pictures of skiing and landscapes. But I have been looking into used cameras because i dont have alot of cash. i dont need it to have video.

i worked with the d80 all summer. i finally picked up my own d90 a few weeks ago and i already think its a stupid amount better. if you have the money for a d90, go with it. ebay is your friend.

also, check the sticky noob
