So after much talk and a good 45 minutes of intense and quality research, I think if I could go out and buy a camera right now I would get the Canon Rebel T1i.

It's about being on the road, it's called turn the page.
....and cue the sax.
Nooo, this is not Travis Tritt. This lumberjackesque man is none other than Bob Seger. Look at him, sitting there with some city skyline behind him. I like to think he is flying on some magic carpet with a motorcycle windshield in front (because obviously his hair isn't flowing in the wind as we would all like it to be). I am also sure that his hair isn't growing from the top of his head- it's a mere extension of his beard and is formed into the flowing locks we see sported above. Does his carpet get picked up on radar and, if so, what is his relationship with air traffic control? Wait. Stop. Another question to be answered at another time. Moving on...
Bob Seger has produced countless hits such as : Against the Wind, Old Time Rock and Roll, Night Moves, and of course Turn the Page. It is literally the best long drive song on the planet and is up there on my top ten list. It's probably my number one most played on iTunes. And when you're competing against techno, hardcore gangsta rap, and the venga boys that says something. The song simply has staying power. I mean, I can listen to it over and over again and it will never lose the quality that drew me to it in the first place. Not many songs do that. Tip of the cap to you Bob Seger- Turn the Page rocks.
So this is it. This is the summer I am going to get a DSLR. It's going to be my last year at school, last stint of home games at lane stadium, last candle-light vigil, last round living in the dorms, one more winter at the university. I want to be able to document it with my photographs- I am not a good photographer, but would very much like to learn and t become as good as I can be. So now I am researching and don't really know what to get. Should I go for a D40? or perhaps a D60?
Or should I go for a Canon Rebel XTi? I am asking a few professional photographer friends and I get some mixed responses. I'll have to research a lot more to see what suits me best and what may be a good beginner/intermediate camera.
They are both sweet cameras...
