Nikon D60 or D80?

if this is your first expensive camera (digital SLR) you might want to buy from a camera store, you will have more resources and piece of mind untill you have more expierence ...my wife bought my Digital rebel XTI from Ritz

Don't buy from those links. It is a scam. You will get a phone call a few days later with someone trying to strongarm you into buying tons of accessories and they will tell you the camera is not in stock when you don't buy them. Either that or you will get not what you ordered and trying to return it will be a truely painful experience if you can.

Pay the extra few hundred and buy from a reputable dealer. And also - ALWAYS BUY WITH USA WARRANTY - I can not stress this enough.

The two I mentioned above are reputable, also consider J&R Music World as well.

Here is the one you linked to with the 18-135mm lens.

Also - keep in mind that when you are buying a digital-SLR camera, you are still buying a camera lens whose focal length is rated in regards to a 35mm film camera, so there is some conversion to be done. That dpreview.com site I gave you a link to usually provides the information that will look something like this (1.5x FOV crop). What this means is that a DX sensor is only 24mm compared with a full (or FX) sensor or 35mm film slide which is 35 mm wide, so when the image comes through the lens the digital sensor is only seeing 66% of what a full 35mm sensor would see.

In order to get the DX relative focal range of the lens or zoom lens you need to multiply the focal length by the FOV crop - which in the case of most SLR cameras is 1.5x (although some Canons are 1.6). In standard 35mm film photography a 50mm lens was considered the standard for a 1:1 picture. Lower was wider angle and higher was narrower angle (ie: zoom).

For the 18-135mm zoom lens, the DX equivalent you would have would be 18x1.5 - 135x1.5 = [27 - 202.5mm]

The 28 - 200mm zoom lens would a DX equiv. of 42 - 300mm. You actually would not be too happy with this as a primary lens because you would not be able to zoom out much past the 1:1 50mm length.

I would recommend the 18-135 as a very good all around lens to start off with.
