X,

Anytime I'm considering anything with camera equipment, I usually check out www.dpreview.com They have excellent reviews of digital camera equipment and they have a full review of the D90.

Wow. They have some of the most comprehensive reviews I've ever seen for any product! Fantastic site, thanks for the direction. After reading, I think Tab and I will get the D90. It seems like the best bang-per-buck for starting photographers like us. (sorry, ATB. We're violating Rule #1 :P )

Ok, I took your advice about B&H. I was looking at an e-bay seller, but the more I read about their policies and as I read the feedback, the weirder and weirder the place sounded. We assembled a nice starting kit at B&H and came out to about the same pricepoint anyway. :D New camera will be here next week, just in time for the 100 Acre Wood rally! w00t!!!

I think ATB is right here, doesn't really matter which way you go, Canon or Nikon. They're both very comparable, and both will take great shots. The lenses are definitely the big expense. I personally don't have much preference one way or the other as far as the camera goes, but for me, Nikon made more sense since I have a relative in the professional photography business that uses Nikon. That means I can borrow equipment from time to time, so Nikon just makes more sense. My point and shoot is a Canon, but then I'd be open to pretty much anything for a point and shoot as long as it's put together fairly solid and takes good pictures. This one was dropped at Kentucky last year, and is still working fine...

Congrats on the purchase X. I'm definitely excited about this coming season. I've been playing around more and more with my D200, and am definitely ready for the season to begin. I think I may have also mentioned that I now have a circular polarizing filter for it as well. I'd like to pick up another lens or two at some point, but for now, think what I have will do a pretty good job.
