I need advice... If anyone knows anything about cameras please comment...
After the cruise I decided that I need a digital SLR camera. I want one and am going to start setting aside a little bit of money every month so I can buy one at the day after Thanksgiving sales. After doing some research, I've decided on a Nikon, but I don't know whether I should get the D40 or the D60. I can get the D40 with a camera bag, telefoto lens, extra battery and a tripod for like $800 ish whereas the D60 by itself is $700. I've never had a really nice camera like this before, so I'm a beginner and the D40 wouldn't be a bad choice, but.... The D60 has 10.2 megapixels and can shoot 3 fps, while the D40 only has 6.1 megapixels and does 2 fps. I'm torn. Since I'm spending a boatload of money on a camera already should I spring for the nicer one or should I buy the beginner's camera with all the extras? It's not like I would know any different if I bought the lower camera, but my regular digital camera right now has 6 megapixels, so it wouldn't be that much of a step up as far as that goes, but I'm also not planning on blowing up any pictures to poster size anytime soon and I'm not a professional, I just want a really nice camera that will last me a really long time and take great pictures....
Help! What does everyone else think?

I don't know much about the actual cameras you're deciding between... but my opinion would be, if you're going to learn how to use the "better" one to maximize its "better-ness" :) then it would be worth spending a little more on it, but if you're just going to point and shoot (like I do) then it's not worth the extra money. Those are my thoughts on the subject, for what it's worth :)
