Thank you
Most pics on my flickr account are taking with the standard 18-55mm lens, i also have a Tamron 70-300mm telephoto lens.
I have been taking pics for a few years with my old sony digital camera, but have really gotten into photography since late last august when i got my 450d.
I went for the 450d because at the time Jessops were doing a bundle deal, where i got the tamron lens and memory card all for iirc under £600.
Hope this helps

The 450d is slightly better in a few ways imho. Most people will say that I'm biased as I own one, but I only own one because I compared them both beforehand. I actually was planning to get a Nikon as well at the time. There's not a lot in though, really. DPreview side-by-side comparison.
The 450d has a few extra AF points, Live View, dust removal, more frames per second etc. I think they're all correct, may be more things too, can't remember everything.
To be honest, unless you have a preference for either brand, you will be happy with whichever one you choose.

The 450D has Live View and Timelapse recording. D60 doesnt.
Arghh this is doing my head in!!
I was asking somebody elses advice at work and he said don't worry about the megapixels etc. He said Nikon bring out their camera's less frequently, so the pack more in to each one, whereas Canon bring them out often, so once you buy its soon out of date.
Is he talking out of his butt?

Pixels don't mean a lot, both will produce photos that look good up to large sizes. For example a Nikon D40 only has 6MP, but it still takes great shots, other factors are more important. As for release rates:
Canon
Nikon
I haven't been into photography for very long, but from what I can see they both seem fairly regular. If you keep comparing the two your head will only get worse, both brands make excellent cameras. The best thing to do is learn how to use whatever camera you have to the best of your abilities. People with a 1000D can take better photos than someone with a 5D mkII if they have the ability.

Price was a big factor for me. Hence why i chose the D60, love it

That's because there is no definite answer. They are both good cameras, go to a shop and try them both out. Nikon gear felt better built to me when I first got a DSLR hence I chose the Nikon over the equivalent Canon.

I got in November and had no real interest in photography but since I got it I find myself thinking "That would make a great pic" all the time.

I'm not sure how looking at other people's photographs will help the decision - just because one person's photos are better than someone elses doesn't mean that the camera they are using is better. How good the photo is is more likely to be down to the ability of the photographer!
