Nikon D60 with lense
I know this is the next one up from the D40, This works out to be around £50 more through Jessops.
Also what sorta of quality/uses can i do with the 18-55mm lense that comes with it?
Would it be a good starter camera? If you can find something better in your opinion please let me know as im not clued up with Digital SLR's.
Thanks alot

Whittie's got that camera and I think he's got that lens too, he's took some good pics with it. I think it's supposed to be a good camera for beginners, I couldn't work it although it was the first time I'd ever touched an slr  I'm sure with a bit of a play about and a read of the instructions I'd sus it out tho

As mike said mate, i've got this camera, here's a few of my pics with the standard lens...
It's a little daunting to begin with, i didn't have a clue what was going on, but once you read the instruction manual, and know whats going on you can produce some decent pics 
Its a great starter camera imo

Nice Camera and 10mp over the 6mp D40.
The 18-55 with the D60 is the new VR version which is great for low light static shots.
However if push came to shove I would spend a little more on a D80 with 18-70mm lens.

You'd be surprised. Once you start getting good results you'll want to upgrade.
I'm seriously tempted now and only bought my first DSLR in April

Canon 400D looking at Canon 5D
Been photographing for small race teams and selling the images back to them, but thinking that a bigger camera = more large prints = more money
That said, sploshing over a grand isn't really making money
Will probably stick with what I've got, but doesn't stop my eye wandering!

I pine for a D3 but that'll never happen.
A D300 would suit me fine but you need the expensive glass to go with it or there's not much point.

I've got some expensive glass (probably enough for what I use), and the 5D would be handy being full frame...........
Think I'm talking myself into it.....must.....resist
