Nikon D60!

This is my first DSLR. I'm upgrading from a Canon Powershot S2, so I've got a lot to learn. Yay for early Christmas presents, though!

I'll post pics once I get everything set up and ready to go.

I don't know anything about cameras, but how exciting for you!!! ;)

Awesome! Once you experience that wonderful shutter sound and feeling of the SLR, it's so unsatisfying to go back to a point & shoot.

I just got one of these a few weeks ago as a early christmas gift too! I have a lot to learn as well! But for not knowing very much the photos are coming out amazing!!! It is so fun to play with. We just took our outside a few days ago and played with learning how to blur things in the background so just the subject is in perfect focus. Fun!!! Congrats!

Thanks for the links!

I'm going to be spending most of my free time over the next few weeks reading and watching tutorials, but I know it will be worth it.

They finally came to fix our home internet today (after being without it for a week), so now I can post a few pics from last night andthis afternoon. Nothing to write home about. Still haven't had time to really sit down with it yet to work on all the settings.
