[Hobby]

It's that time again for me to blow off a bunch of money on something i don't technically need... Last year it was a bigger tv, the year before that it was a row-boat for fishing.

This year? A camera.


I have about $1000 limit for a dSLR -- the choices have been narrowed down to these (provided no one else has better suggestions)

a) Nikon D60 (refurbished) with a 18-55mm lens and a 70-300mm zoom lens for about 500

or

b) Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera with Nikon AF-S DX 18-135mm lens for just under 1k (my limit)


I may buy a zoom lens for the D90 eventually, but it has a long enough zoom to keep me happy for the time being.


Anyways, the goal I am looking for with a camera is mostly natural beauty (nature) shots / lightning and low-lighting shots.
