I got the Nikon D80 with a 18-135mm lens. I wanted a camera that I can grow with that also takes different lenses for different purposes. This one comes with a pretty universal lens to start with and I will go from there.

Here is an example of one at Circuit City

Lots of online controls and so far very easy to use...it has an automatic setting too!
