No where near a pro

(Paul Lanzo - 10/16/08)

I moved up from digital a point and shoot to the Nikon D40.
I have shot quite a few photos, mostly at the local zoo and landscape photos. I am very satisfied with the results. For the money it would be hard to beat. I will be in Door County soon to shoot some fall scenes. I would recomend this Nikon to people stepping up from a digital point and shoot camera.
I understand the Nikon D60 is also a very good camera. But look into the lower end Canon's, see which one feels right to you. I think for the average person you can't beat either the Nikon or Canon lower end digital camera's. Both are user friendly.
