Still dithering about the focal length and wonder if I may find a 70mm or even a 50mm more managable.

Aperture is basically the hole in the lens that the light goes through

Arg - I answered this on Dogsey but will repost here

I personally would look at the 450D Check out the cameras and more importantly get a feel for the camera. Go into a shop and try them out and see which you prefer. Make sure you also find out whether or not the D60 can auto focus with all lenses or only a select few (this would completely put me off i'm afraid).

I think you should definately consider the 1000D, it is Canon's latest model

You really need to get a feel for them before you purchase one though
