i'm buying a camera this week. (hopefully!!!)

a camera that I can use regularly and also the one that can take better photos of my works.

i've been checking reviews online but I’m on a limited budget, so i'm contemplating between Nikon D40 or D60. (which I really don’t mind because they’re both great cameras and I’ve seen pictures taken with it and they’re absolutely stunning) whichever of the two I think will be ok with me.

the things is!!!

i have vague idea of what i'm going into, i just want a decent camera to shoot small objects, say a plush i made, or a diorama of sorts, I also for my paper cut outs, I would like to take a more accurate and high res images of them (cause my scanner makes them look flat)

that's initially what i intend to make use of it and of course for occasions that needs capturing, maybe landscapes when i get a chance to get out of town.

Do you think I’m going for the right camera or should I just buy a point and shoot instead?

Can someone enlighten me please?


many and more thanks
