I bought the Nikon D40 a couple years ago but want to upgrade. The camera has been a good beginner camera but I am ready to move on to something I can have more control over (and that I don't have to buy the AF lenses with the motor built in to them since the D40 doesn't have a built in AF motor). Not sure if I want to stick with Nikon (I only have 2 lenses that came with the camera so it's not like I'd be out some good glass) or switch to Canon (or another brand). Don't want to spend more than $1k.

And go...

DH bought me the Canon Powershot SD800 the Christmas before we got married (almost 3 years ago) and I love it. I am thinking of switching to a Canon just because I've had so much luck with the point and shoot.

We like our Canon Rebel.

we love our Nikon D60...my husband loves new gadgets so he told me that I could buy him the Nikon D5000!  That made me laugh.

The problem with the D60 like the D40 is it can't AF unless you have an AF lens with the motor built in.

The D60 is being discontinued.

Canon Xsi all the way.

How about I sell you my D60 so I can upgrade?

LOL. Uhm...no. We should switch to Canon because MEE says so though. Didn't Sissy buy a Canon too?

I was drooling over my friend's D90 the other day. I have a D50, but it was discontinued a few years ago.

I don't post here very often, but lurk a lot....  My husband and I have a D300 and have had D90's in the past.  If you want to buy new I would recommend the D90.  However, you can get a D300 used for under a $1K.  Both have the ability to use non-AF lenses.

Yeah, Sissy has a Canon too.  I actually love my D60 right now.  Maybe next year I will upgrade. Hmpf.
