I'd go for the d90 + 18-105 kit, i'm pretty sure you can find it brand new@ 850-900
I wish i could have started with that :D

I started with an olympus e-420 :D

My problem is this. i just took like 100 pictures with the s2000hd and almost all were terrible really trust me really bad pictures. all shaked etc.

Then i tried @ friend place a Reflex Nikon d3100 and wow the pictures i took look so damn good. i was like wtf my s2000 has a problem or was lucky with the reflex?

Anyway a friend is paying a cool price for my used s2000 and i go take the chance to make the upgrade.

About used market in my country i got a proposal of :

Nikon d90 only body for 500 euros.

how much would lenses cost?

Depends what lens you need.
I'd get a 55-200, you can find that brand new for 300 euros or even less.

i will always recommend getting a 50mm 1.8 as a2nd lense they are rather cheap
great sharpness etc and fun to shoot with

Got a small and final question.

I've decided to buy the Nikon d90 after checking some opinions and that. Now my question is buying a used camera that was taken well care etc etc and took about 8000 pictures is like buying a new one right?

About the d90 the one im checking is 1 year old. It has been upgraded or is equal to the one @ stores now?

Thank you!
