Everyone was hoping for a D60, a D50 replacement. But right now it doesn't look like that is going to happen. Lack of on top LCD, 3 Area Focusing, AF-S Lenses only, etc, etc. |
350 is a very good entry price for point-and-shoot camera users

I need a new camera. I have had Nikons before and they have never let me down. Im not much of a photographer and dont need a super expensive camera, so this may work for me. $350 is about what I would want to pay for a good camera.
