Hmmm...D5000 - $599.....seems like a no-brainer to go the distance and get the D5000!

D5000:Nikon - 12.3-Megapixel D5000 DSLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens - Black - D5000 with 18-55mm Lens

Look into it.

Ken, probably worth stepping up to the 3100 at least. More recent version of the 3000

Ken, basically, ANY DSLR you will get is LIGHT YEARS more advanced than any camera you have used in the past. The pictures will be clearer, crisper, and will give you more flexibility for editing. And when I say ANY DSLR, I mean ANY brand, and any model within that brand.

Just take a look at them and pick out one that suits you and your budget. The HD video feature I wouldn't use as a determining feature. I'd rather use (which I have) a dedicated HD video cam for that. I want my DSLR to just be that, a great-picture-taking camera. Just my

on to topic... did nothing with Zena today. Might have a car meet tonight, so will wash her and put CG 50/50 on her as an LSP tonight...

I totally agree any DSLR will be 10x better than any regular cam. I was just throwing the HD video thing out there, I never use it on my D90.

My test pipes are coming in today. Looks like a beautiful holliday weekend ahead, install set for Sunday.

gotcha.. yah, im not real sure if im going to be taking vids and also agree that i dont need to overkill myself pretending i know how to work a camera.

anyway i'll take a look in more detail (and wat's on sale) when im ready to take the step. i still need to get the rear lip CF bit first.

TR confirmed they can probably ship out my replacement rear weds/DW tomorrow.
