1. Nikon D40 DSLR is excellent camera for beginner.Take great picture,light & compact,affordable price. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KJQ1DG?ie=UTF8&tag=computer0bd-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000KJQ1DG or if you want point & shoot get Nikon P80 10.1MP with 18x Wide Angle Optical Vibration Reduction Zoom http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00176BDD4?ie=UTF8&tag=computer0bd-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00176BDD4
2. Nikon makes excellent cameras. I have this one, which I feel is a great beginner camera. It works fine. This camera will work good for beginner photography. After some time, you can think about a DSLR camera. For now, check this one out that I use.. I have located the camera and a great deal on it too... http://www.dealjuggler.com/Nikon-Coolpix-S210-8MP-digital-camera---Only-$114.html Hope the above helps, Enjoy....
3. D40 or a D80 depepnding on how much you have to spend. I have the d40 and i'm a little upset i didnt save up a little longer for the d80. But, I'm a photographer for my university newspaper and I've shot a ton of events with my d40 (although its not really suitable for that) it still does a decent job. Go here to look at $$$$ bhphotovideo.com If you are interested in ACTUAL photography and not just taking random pictures of friends, your only choice is to get an SLR. Which means Single Lens Reflex. Also, check out flickr to see other peoples work and ask them for tips and advice. Most people will be thrilled to help!!! Cheers, Tim
4. For beginner,i recommend Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm AF-S VR Zoom Lens and Accessory Kit. The Nikon D60 has proven to me to be a fantastic beginner's DSLR, while it can hardly be labeled a beginner's camera since it is more than capable of running with the higher models. It does, however, lack some of the features that give the more expensive brands their appeal, and high price tag. For what you get with this model; high quality photographs, durability, small and lightweight body; the price is unbeatable. The difference in quality from the D60 and the higher level DSLRs can only be seen if you have already mastered the techniques of digital photography, and are looking for the next step. I would not recommend a newcomer to DSLR photography puchasing anything much higher than the D60 to start with, otherwise you may be wasting money that could be put towards a more powerful lens. The D60 has proven it's durability to me in the field, as I have dropped it on the ground and worst of all, fell into a stream with it around my neck in Yosemite National Park. I dried it off and it was like new. Excellent quality. Nikon D60 Kit. KIT INCLUDES 8 PRODUCTS -- All Brand New Items with all Manufacturer-supplied Accessories + Full USA Warranties: 1) Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera w/ 18-55mm VR Lens; 2) Transcend 8GB SDHC Card; 3) Nikon EN-EL9 Li-Ion Battery Pack; 4) Nikon SLR System Case; 5) USB 2.0 High Speed SD Card Reader; 6) Digital Image Recovery Software; 7) Memory Card Storage Wallet; 8) Cameta Microfiber Cleaning Cloth price: $559.95 + $18.95 shipping reference: http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-D60-Digital-18-55mm-Accessory/dp/B00154KTXI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=photo&qid=1236405150&sr=1-3&tag=commentglitte-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325 Hope that help
5. First of all, congratulations on your interest in photography. Photography can be an exciting and rewarding field. Honestly, to start with, the best camera will be the one that you will continually use and learn on. Nikon, Canon, and even Sony make great cameras and you can easily find arguments for and against each brand. You will want to start with what's called an SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera. These cameras will allow you to change lenses (based on what type of shooting you will be doing) and, more importantly, will allow you to make manual settings on the camera (as apposed to the fully automatic setting). Getting away from the automatic settings will help you to learn to control what the camera is doing instead of letting it make all the decisions for you. You will learn to set the ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed based on how YOU want the picture to look. The brand of camera is really one of the LEAST important decisions when deciding to take a picture. The specific model is also much less important than your willingness to learn how to take great pictures. When asked "Wow, that's a great picture, what kind of camera do you have?", one photographers' standard reply is "a black one, I got it at the same place that Shakespeare got that pen." Point being, it wasn't the pen that made Shakespeare great, and it won't be a specific camera that makes you great. It will be the other way around! That being said, If you are leaning toward Nikon, go with a Nikon, especially if that's what many of your friends are using. They are fantastic cameras and having fellow Nikonians to help answer questions will be invaluable to your learning process. The Nikon D 40 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KJQ1DG?ie=UTF8&tag=shawsharphot-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000KJQ1DG would be an excellent choice to start with. They start somewhere around $500, come with an 18-55 lens, and are very user friendly. If you have a bit more to spend you can go for the Nikon D 60 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012OGF6Q?ie=UTF8&tag=shawsharphot-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0012OGF6Q, Another great beginner camera. This one comes with a "VR" lens which helps deter blurry pictures. It also has a few more megapixels, which, as you'll soon learn, arn't something that you need to be overly concerned with. The megapixel race has gotten completely out of hand and only consumers are worried about "how many megapixels" a camera has. A pro knows that he can get a great picture regardless....
