I wouldn't recommend Nikon D40 at this current moment. It is already quite old

Either the D60 or the 1000D If you are not too particular about the brand, then the 1000D might have better features than the D60.

thanks for the tip

yeah, im thinking Canon 1000D since its newer and more features, (eg Live View,etc)

My case is Im already familiar with Nikon interface, so it might awkward using other brand, not that I dont wanna learn, its just I simply love Nikon interface (But to be truth yesterday using Canon 400d, the menu is simpler than Nikon as it has few shortcut buttons).

But based on 1000D review from dpreview.com, it doesnt score much compared to D60. But that's just a review. Buy what you think is right, afterall its your DSLR and you'll be the one who use it, not the people from the review tho

Ok, new toy in the house

fuiyoh 85mm!!! portrait master in da house!

I personally do not think that a NEW little Koala bear stuff toy is something to be excited about. Hrmph...

I thought you getting 70-200 geh... how come 85mm pulak.

Just got the lens niah and I managed to play Tamron 70-200. Shakey hand kill the photo but still the bokeh is very nice
