I had my winter coat stolen once. I put it down behind me for literally two minutes and when I turned back around to pick it up it was gone. Some people's kids! That was such a bummer!

I am catching up or I would have responded sooner with good reports on mine. I've had it for a year and a half and am very happy with my choice. I recently saw a D3000 and while nice, the D90 has a lot more functionality. It is much easier to change settings on the D90 because there are many more buttons. This makes for faster and easier shooting. Having had the D40, you will find it easy to use, but there are so many features that I recommend reading the manual. You can also download a pdf of the manual for free (you just can't print it) which is great when you want to find something quickly (the index isn't that great). I look forward to seeing your new photos! Glad to hear you picked up the D90. I am catching up or I would have responded sooner with good reports on mine.

I remember hearing a few weeks ago about a family who found their stolen baby stroller listed on craislist for sale. In fact, I just did a quick search, and there is a D40 for sale at Queen & Landsdowne??!! I might be a little optimistic here, but have you checked Craigslist for your camera?

People who steal things are just idiots--what an invasion of your shop, your space, your creativity, and your life. I am really sorry your got camera stolen--I would be so upset if I lost mine that way. I don't know much about Nikon (I'm in the competing camp...) but maybe you should take this opportunity to upgrade to the model one step above yours. It could be a sign from the universe, you never know. Ugh, that is so lame. People who steal things are just idiots–what an invasion of your shop, your space, your creativity, and your life.

I have a D60 which I think replaced the D40 and I love it and couldn't be happier - the D90 is one model up and I think it's a bit better, if you want to save money I think you would be happy with the D60. Ro has the D3000 and she really likes it. best getting a new one and shame on the person who stole your camera. that is awful – I am always leaving my camera in the shop during photo shoots and john always needs to remind me to put it safely in the back.
