Camera Suggestions

Recently hubby and I have decided to look for a new hobby since we are taking a break from soccer. Hubby wanted to do kayaking, I said no. For one we can't take Laci and two it isn't a year round sport. He hates tools, he works on the computer all day, so after looking through loads and loads of lists we both have decided on photography.

I am very excited as I have always wanted to get into photography and my little darling is a perfect model to help me stay motivated. I say this because I don't want to pay for professional shots when and if I have the ability to do them myself. Now that I have software that I can edit with as well as digital scrapbooking I am 1/2 way there. Just need the camera.

So after searching through comments, forums, and doing some research we really like the ability and features of the Nikon D90. For those of you out there that know a thing or two about cameras and photography, what is your take on these types of cameras?

Let me know so that we can take the plunge and make the purchase I have wanted for a very long time.

Thanks & TTFN!!
