Do you mind if I ask for help with choosing a digital SLR?  I have a point and shoot now but I have decided I want to take better pictures and I am SO sick of red eye with the auto-flash   I will probably use it mostly for baby pics (of course) and also a few outside pics in the summer for fishing/camping stuff (both daytime and nighttime).

I'm trying to decide between these 3 on Costco.com -- any suggestions?

1.  https://tinyurl.com/dcwn8e - Nikon D60 Gold with 18-55mm & 55-200 lenses (I don't know enough to know if I actually would want both?).  10.2 mega-pixel

2.  https://tinyurl.com/9vq72l  - Nikon D40 with 18-55mm & 55-200 lenses.  6.21mega-pixel (not sure if this is okay for what I need, I might print 8x10's)

3.  Same as #2 but with only the 18-55mm lens.

If you don't know have any preference or suggestions I totally understand

THANK YOU so much in advance -- and also THANK YOU so much for the new blog.  I LOVE it and can't wait to get a new camera to start playing with my pics!!

Hey there... sorry I didn't get to this post yesterday, I was out shooting a wedding

I actually pretty much know zero about which Nikon cameras are better than others or which ones to recommend.  I use Canon so I know a bit about those but Nikons are foreign territory to me.

You could always either look for camera review websites (I know the main one I use is canon only... sorry... but they have pretty in-depth reviews on dpreview.com) or go into a local camera shop (even if that's not where you're gonna buy one from) and ask them which they think is better for what you want to do with it. 

Sorry I can't be more helpful!

Oh gosh -- no problem at all.  I never even thought about the local camera shop, I'll go to them.

Thank you SO much!
