i use a nikon d40. I think its a great entry level dslr. Most people here use d40s, some d50s (micah) and a few d90s (iank).
Micah uses a D50.
If you are starting out, any entry level DSLR will be plenty. Lenses tend to more important for amateur photography.
Oops good catch. Thats what i meant.
Im the odd one out on this. I shoot Sony which may be for sale soon if youre looking.
I use a d80!
D70 for me, its old…but it works heh
Curious how many of you DSLR users are using kit lenses.
I use my 18-55 non-vr nikon kit lens a lot. My other lens is the 55-200 VR AF-S f/4-5.6 which is a pretty entry level lens too.
From what I remember, quite a few of them are. the 18-55 is a POS but it can take decent shots if everything else is right.
lenses are just not cheap…
Took a trip to Colorado with the GF back in the July/August timeframe. Took some cool pics, so I thought I’d post them up…no DSLR for me though 
Anyway, lemmie know what you think!

Whats with the train tracks?
were those tracks used in back to the future 3?
There’s a cog rail train that you can take to the summit of Pikes Peak…if you’re too afraid to drive up the road :burnout:
They literally end at that stop, and I’d say its 500’+ to the nearest ground below the end of those tracks. It was pretty cool walking around up there.
a few pics from Griffis sculpture park i took yesterday.
