Actually I won’t be talking again about the specification because all of you already know it. The D60 is my first DSLR camera I’m actually wasn’t into photography that much, I just bought it because i asked a friend i want to take a quality pictures for my family because i had a regular annoying Casio camera which makes dots/noise in the pictures and ruins the moment of the photo, Any way he told me do you want the same photography as you see in the magazines or billboards i said yes i actually thought that all those pictures was like impossible and you need like i dunno graphic designer to do the work for you to make it so clean and sharp as they look and MAN I WAS WRONG..

1st day i bought this camera i took my 1st shot and i was like WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW i never had a DSLR camera before i hate taking pictures but with this camera the first week i took over 13,000 pictures can you believe that awesome camera awesome quality and the help menu tought me a lot about photography i didn’t even know anything about photography like what is ISO, Exposure etc.. it kept explaining everything in the menu and I’m here now buying the new D90 waiting for this babe to arrive.

Nikon makes the photography impossible to resist everyone this camera is worth every penny now i watch videos on You Tube and trying to learn and I’m buying bunch of lenses which costs me over $5000, it’s hilarious actually, but i loved photography i keep taking shots for everything and i have like 700 GB hard disk full of pictures shot with my D60.

Please If you can afford it buy any lens than the one included the recommended is the 18-200 Nikon lens much better and have a very deep zoom and buy the 50 mm Nikon lens it’s awesome for portraits shots and very very sharp. I can’t believe my self talking about lenses and cameras but it’s worth it i loved and you’ll love it.. Good Luck with your D60

Aiming at a career in photography (I know I worked in the business for many years / television and stills) is like aiming to become a professional piano player. Plan on years of experience, practice, disappointment, excitement, joy and tears – trust me it’s all part of it.

Now, to a camera. Let’s be practical here. If you were just learning to play guitar the last thing I would recommend is for you to buy a
$1,500 dollar electric guitar then learn how to play… see where I’m going.

If I were you, I’d buy the best priced camera out there that will still take satisfying photos for you – as you mentioned, the Rebel XS 1000D is a good choice – I know, I own one and I love the camera. It’s well priced and is a work horse of a Canon. It will serve you well during your
learning process.

Another thing, never be afraid to screw up… never be afraid to be disappointed – trust me, that’s how we learn.

Best of Luck

What Is the best camera for a semi-normal photographer?
Im a teen who is looking into becoming a professional photographer. I need some help picking out my first "real" camera. I’ve considered the Nikon D80 and Cannon EOS Rebel, but i’m not an expert. I am moderate and want a camera that will bring out the color in the natural picts i will be taking. Please refer the best choice for me and how much a good price would be thanks
