Well at this point, you might as well get the D80. You get full compatibility with AF lenses for $780 on Amazon for body only vs. the D60 kit which is $750. And its available now, not in two months (Amazon shows availability for the D60 kit as March 29). Add in the 18-200 for another $670 and you get $1450. Then, if OP ever wants to buy a slightly older lens, he'll be able to use it.

Or he can get a D40 for $490 and save almost $300. I was merely pointing out the fact that for a savings of $300 the OP loses a few features. Whether the OP needs those features or not, I don't know. If I upgrade my camera, I'm not going to buy a D40 because I need the features of the D80 or D300. But if OP is a casual shooter then the D40 seems fine and he can always upgrade the body in a year or two when today's body will be obsolete and the new $500 bodies will have 20 MP sensors.

I think that if we want to continue this discussion the OP really needs to chime in regarding what he/she needs and not what we assume he/she needs. If 10MP, wireless flash, and RAW+JPEG are worth $300, then that's the OP's decision.
