Answer by Alex
They are all very good cameras, and the average user will not notice any significant difference. Picture quality will mostly be dictated by the lenses that you use.
That said, the D60 is the newest of the bunch. There is no reason to buy the D40, given the minimal price difference between the D40 and the D60.
The D80 offers slightly better flexibility in white balance settings, but it is also about 1.5 years older than the D60, so there is not really a big difference in features.
I would go with the D60 if I were to decide between the three.

look for a point and shoot that enables you to change things like ISO, shutter and aperture. your pictures may not be as fantabulous (pre edited) as a dSLR, but if you can control at least 2 of those 3 things you should be able to take some great shots.
i have an oldschool 4.1mp sony with various lenses that can be used with it (not a dslr – it’s more or less a point and shoot), with it i was able to take great shots. if you’re serious about photography though, you really should shell out a little more money for at the very least an entry level digital SLR camera. they’re a little more expensive, but you can do SOOO much more with them. Nikon d40 for instance, is a great entry level camera, it’s not small but it’s smaller than it’s more expensive counterparts. http://www.deviantart.com <-- do a search for nikon d40 and you'll see the great shots you can get with it.
if you insist on a pocket sized point and shoot, you're going to generally give up flexibility and control, but that won't necessarily stop an artistically inclined photographer.

Sony Alpha NEX-F3

Camera lens buying guide
DSLRs and mirrorless cameras are sold in “kits,” meaning they are typically supplied with an 18-55mm lens. This may sound impressive but realize this is only a 3x zoom ranging from about 27-82.5mm in 35mm terms. Compare this to a compact $ 349 Canon …

Question by Yuval G: Recommendations for a new camera?
I already own the Olympus SP-550UZ, and while it is a great camera, I’m looking for something a little more professional. I’m considering buying a digital SLR camera. I talked to a few professional photographers, and from what I understand Nikon and Cannon are the most popular and best makers of digital SLR cameras. But I want the name of a specific model, or a few models to check if that’s possible. It doesn’t have to be Nikon or Cannon, it just has to be something I will be able to find at a photography store.

Go to the local retailer and compare them first hand. Hold them, play with them, run through the menus, etc. Take some sample shots and feel the shutter, Get an idea for the work flow and changing menus, etc.
In the end, the best camera is going to be one that is supported locally near you, with available accessories, lenses and flashes, and one that fits you personally. I recently went through the same choices, and agonized between the Canon 50D and the Nikon d90. I ultimately went with the canon 40D (one step down) because of price of the body, and more importantly availability of the lenses (cheaper – more focal length per dollar).
In the end, it comes down to learning your system and shooting. Shooting some more. And ultimately, shooting still more. Camera’s are tools. The photographer takes the picture. With the quality of todays dSLR’s there is so little difference between the bodies, that it really comes down to personal fit, feel and comfort of work flow.
