I was originally thinking just a decent point and shoot, because I like the convenience of being able to just stick it in my pocket and forget about it... but I'd also like the quality and functionality of an SLR.

What are all you guys using and how do you like em?

What would you suggest for the best bang for your buck camera/lens?.. as I don't know too much about photography, yet? Any good reads to go along?

Newegg.com - Recertified: Nikon D40 Black 6.1 MP 2.5" 230K LCD Digital SLR Camera w/ AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G II ED Lens <--- how's this?
That's exactly what I've been shooting with for a year. Spend another chunk and get the 55-200mm vr lense Nikon 55-200mm VR The D40 works great for me but at times I wish I could have afforded the D40x due to the crop factor. The D40 is the perfect size for my flight bag.


A Beaver and a Beaver. Taken with the 55-200 vr lense.
