I am a beginner photographer who is trying to find the best nikon camera not the latest. I would like to spend around $500. I know I want it to have a quick shutter speed, i don't want to miss the shot :(. The big requirements for me is that it has high resolution, quality images and is quick. Long lasting battery. I do like a manual zoom, but it isn't a requirement. Also, I want digital. I would just like to know what other photographers are using and love. I am soo afraid to spend that amount of money and end up hating the product. Any ideas? And please don't respond if you are just going to say the latest camera you heard about, please be an actual user and know something about camera's :)
Also, is there a camera that just takes good quality images without having to buy various lenses and all that?

You can try getting a D40 used for under 500 or just try the D3000. The D3000 is Nikon's most basic DSLR that has some great features.
