Really good quality picture? Which Nikon should I get?

I would suggest buying an entry level dSLR. so a nikon d40/d40x/d60. I would suggest a d40. EXCELLENT quality and you can find them now for around $350. It all depends on what is SUPER expensive for you.

I have a D90...there have been no situations that this camera has not conquered in lighting, image quality, and all around startlingly good pics. I cannot believe how well this camera works...far better than any film camera I have ever used. It is intuitive, the controls are easy to master, and the unit is not heavy. It accepts almost all lenses made in the last 25 or more years (Nikon). Although it is not a full frame camera (you get used to that one very quickly), it does not cost like a full frame camera. At 12.9 mega pixel, it is about as good as they come. With the VR 18-105mm lens, it runs about 1150.00 US....for that much camera, it is a good buy. The D40 has been discontinued, but new ones are out there at good prices....the D40 has limitations that may not bother you if this is your first. On the other hand, the D90 will last you for years and years...you will not outgrow the camera.
