Switched to Picassa for image viewing. Downloaded a software called NEAT Image which claims to be a effective noise reduction software. First few results are effective. Lets check more.
I've decided that my next cam will be Nikon D40. Initially i was a bit confused between the newer version of Nikon entry level cams D60. But all it provides is some fancy buttons here and there, air flow lens cleaning system, in-camera editing and active lighting for some 100 extra dollars. Now only incentive for D60 is that the kit lens with it is a VR(Vibration Reduction) lens as opposed to D40's basic 18-55mm without VR. If D40 will not be available with VR lens kit I would be forced to opt for D60. Hoping for getting some filters and telefoto and macro attachments too as shown in ebay.ca shops.
Im also counting on Indian economy to boom so as rupee value gets stronger over dollars. In that case I might be tempted to go for an extra 55-200mm (not necessarily VR) lens too. It will be great for tele photography. equivalent to 8x zoom! An SB-400 flash instead of extra lens will also be good for indoor photographs and is priced approx $12o instead of $200 tele lens.
Searching for reviews I came across this person named Ken Rockwell. Any body looking reviews of advice on which camera to buy must read his page http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/recommended-cameras.htm as well as http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/mpmyth.htm. Megapixels really do not matter beyond 6MP. if you are owning a compact cam you will never be printing larger than 20x16" in which case 6MP is enough.
Read the recommended cameras page, choose your budget and buy the one that fits. believe me it will the best thing for you
