I'm stuck , and I don't always ask for things/ideas/reviews, but I'm stuck on weather to save for the Nikon D40 or the Sony A200:

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I'd suggest you save that little bit extra and get teh Nikon D60. I've got one, and I love it!

True I should, but somone I know has one and they said its good but its out of my price range, and I'm not looking for a decent one, just a get-into-the start of the DSLR range model, as the Sony A200 or Nikon D40 would be good, but I can not decide on which one.

Would say the Nikon out of those two. But what about a Canon EOS 450D?

I would say the D40 but shop around.

I have a Sony A350 and love it to bits best emptying your pockets on that.

But the nikon cheapo ones have the silly auto focus thing.
And do you really need one if you mainly do videos ?

If you do photos and Vids, Get a Nikon D90. First DSLR that does Movies and Videos

Here's a suggestion, strong if anything.

You should stick with your camera or at least stay with digital cameras (not DLSRs) as IMO and I'm sure many would agree with me that your levels of photography doesn't justify you wasting what would probably be hard earned parents money.

If I were you id save your money and gain some more experience before wondering into DSLRs.

I'd agree
