One of my 15yo sons has decided that he wants a camera for xmas (NIKON) He's had his beady eye on my old D50 for a while (he's not getting it!) So the question is what is a good beginners nikon DSLR?
Thanks for your help.
 
D60, D3100, D3200... All pretty good for a beginner. I think the 3100 and 3200 have 'Guide' modes. Depends on your budget really.
 
A lot depends on the depth of your pocket, D3200, D5200,D7000 all can be picked up at lower prices now if you shop around.
 
What about a d40 would probably fit his hands better ?


No in body focus motor. Not a big deal until you want to expand your lens collection and have to keep paying the premium that AF-S (or equivalent) lenses command on the 2nd hand market.
