Nikon D90?
Honest opinions? Looking to buy ny first dslr.
What entry level do you recommend?

The D90 is the most expensive of the ones you've listed. The D40x is a good camera, but wasn't popular when first released. You could get a used (in good condition) Rebel XS w/ an 18-55 kit lens or a Nikon D3000 w/ an 18-55 kit lens for about 300 bucks. It would help if you could tell us your budget.

I have the Nikon COOLPIX L120.It was $280. I love it! It takes really good quality pictures/videos, and can zoom in really far without fuzzing up at all. Look up some reviews on YouTube.

I agree with Taylor, and furthermore, you need to realize that once you start with one brand, say, Nikon, you are "married" to it. To switch to Canon in a few years is extremely costly (because the lenses won't work with the others).

But all these (older) cameras are fine. If you can get one inexpensively, make sure it's in a decent shape.
