May I ask what may seem like a really daft question but its perfectly reasonable to me. Is an slr camera one that you can focus manually? Or are there other kinds of cameras that do that too? Bet you dont feel like such a beginner now. A lot of people seem to be giving the nikon d60 good reviews, if thats any help.

Good photos are not always about the camera, you have to learn how to use the one you have.
