First DSLR (HELP PLEASE)

[hop25]

:thinking:
I am currently looking into getting my first DSLR i have only used compacts in the past. I really enjoy taking photos and what to get more from a camera, but i am a little unsure on what's best to develop my skills on and with so much on the market what to go for. I have been looking at nikon as i have been told the lens quality is top notch! The camera i have been looking at is the d60.

Is this a good choose or could anyone point me in a better direction.

Thanks in advance!

As always, your first port of call should be your local camera shop to have a feel of the cameras you're interested in...

From the Nikon range... the D60 as you mentioned above, or you could consider a 2nd hand D80, for probably similar sort of money..

As for Canon.. I don't know what their equivalents are, so I'll leave that to someone else :D
