I'm going for buy my first DSLR in the next couple of days. I had been all set for the Nikon D40 but in the last day of so have been wondering if it's the best option. The D40 is £250 and the D60 is £350. My funds are by no means without limit but I can afford to spend an extra £100 to get the D60 if it's the 'right' thing to do. The D80 is out of my price range.
I know that the D40 is a great camera and I'd be really happy with it, but I'm worried that 1-2 years down the line I'd regret not spending the extra money.
As I see it, the benefit of going for the D60 is that I get more MP, (so I could go for the odd huge print,) and the kit lens it comes with is VR. On the other hand the D40 saves me £100, which I can then put towards accessories - tripod, Aperture, zoom lens a bit down the line.
What would people recommend?
Thanks
