Re: Good camera for macro photography.
Some others have raised some excellent points about not needing a DSLR. I just mentioned that because you can get a good used body and a decent macro lens for not much more than your price range. And the thing with a DSLR is that there are so many options if you want to do different types of photography, that you can grow with the camera.

I got a D60 and I love it I have not bought any new lenses for it yet but the lenses that comes with the kit is a great beginner camera and I is super easy to use. I am still learning new things every time I get to talking about photography! The hardest part for me is setting the white balance and using aperture for your benefit. The Nikon D40 is a great camera if you are not sure if you really want to do photography, but if your serious then I would spring for the D60.
This is an excellent point. The main reason I like the Digital SLR is because you get instant feed back and can adjust your pictures it is a great learning tool. just my .02.
The Nikon D60 is the way I would go but that is just my opinion you should get what fits your needs best.
Yeah, the D60 is a very fine camera. I looked at them before buying my D40, but decided that if I was going to spend more money, that I should spring for the D80, but then at that point I decided to get the D40 and have some $$ left over for a lens upgrade (which I haven't decided on. Too many choices!!!!!!!). But I agree 100% that you can't go wrong with a Nikon.
