Need camera help...

[hollyxann]

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been kinda M.I.A. lately. I just started a new position at work so I've been working non stop. I've also been saving some money so that I can purchase a DSLR. That's where I need help...
I think I have my heart set on a Nikon however I'd also like a Canon. I like both cameras brands but I lean more towards Nikons for whatever reason.
I'm not sure what model I want. I'd like something with at least 10mp...I know mp's dont really matter unless you are doing large prints and what not.
I was thinking about either the D60 or the D90...but I also just saw the D5000 and so now that has been thrown into my choices.

Which do you think?
all opinions welcome!

Get the nicest one you can afford.

For sure. Get the biggest baddest one you can afford now because within months you're going to want another one, lol.

I have the D80 and love mine (had it a year now). But I actually wish I had let Jordan talk me into the D3. At the time, I wasn't sure how "into" photography I would get, and didn't want something SO crazy professional that I would get overwhelmed quickly. Little did I know that I would become completely obsessed and remain that way. Lesson learned. My next upgrade (in a few years) will be a pro-level (possible full frame) model. Cuz I'm nuts like that.
