Nikon d60 vs Nikon d80 i will be taking sports photography and was wondering if i will really be able to tell a difference between the two cameras??

Both will do what you are talking about here. There are differences in them and the best thing is to go down the features list and see which one has the things you want, It starts about midway of this document

Full review at www.cameralabs.com . A ten minute video tour around Nikon's latest mid-range DSLR, the D90, including clips from its movie mode ...

Nikon Coolpix 900 camera, an older digital camera. Just bought it in very good condition but no Nikon serial cable. Camera has compact flash memory card. Need to transfer pictures to my desktop computer, a Dell Dimension E310. Any way to do it without the cable? Original Nikon cable is mostly unavailable in my 'net search thus far.

Go to Best Buy or Walmart and buy a card reader that plugs into a USB port. You ought to be able to get one for less that $20, probably less than $10. Plug it into your computer and then put your camera's compact flash card in the reader. It will show up on your computer as an external drive. From there, just drag the pix to the file you want them in on your computer.

720p HD movie recording at 30fps; HDMI output
14.2 megapixels for stunning prints as large as 20 x 30 inches

I took some pictures today on my camera. I have a Nikon Coolpix S560. I forgot to put my memory card back in earlier and I don't have a cable. How can I get these pictures from my internal memory to my memory card? Thankyou!

It's pretty easy. You do need to have the USB cable that came with your camera. With it turned off, take any card out of the camera, turn it on to "review" mode (the one that you use to look a computers on the back), plug the usb cable into your camera and computer. You may have to click a menu on the camera for something like "PC mode". A window should pop up on the computer that will allow you to open an explorer window to review the images. Copy them over to your hard drive like the camera was any other hard drive.

I am using a nikon 18-200mm VR lens. I want to be able to zoom in a lot closer. Do you recommend I get a 2X teleconverter or should I buy a 400 or 500mm lens?
I want to zoom in on animals at a zoo and sporting events

Any suggestions would be great.

The lens is the best choice. Loosing 1 or 2 stops when you need them the most will make the converter a poor option.
Set your lens at 200mm f/22 and see if you have the shutter speed you need for sports or even the zoo. That will be what you are limited to with the 2x converter. -Actually the converter will be a little worse.-

I have an HP 6.2 megapixel camera that's 4 years old that I've always liked well enough, but I want to get something a little better/newer. I saw the Nikon CoolPix on Walmart's website, and it's only around $120. I don't have experience with Nikon, but a friend of mine has a Panasonic Lumix that works quite well. The Nikon is 10MP, and the Panasonic is 12MP, so maybe this is the main difference? Thanks in advance.

I'd give the edge to the Panasonic. The zoom range on the panasonic is 5x which is better than the 3x on the Nikon. This means you will get a wider wide angle shot (29mm vs 35mm) and a higher magnification on the telephoto end too (145mm vs 105mm). The Panasonic uses both optical and digital image stabilization while the Nikon only used digital (the cheapest and lesser effective form of image stabilization)

10MP vs 12MP makes virtually no difference at all so that is not important.

Both have nearly a 1 second shutter lag which means the camera does not take a picture until nearly a second after push the shutter button. OK for posed snap shots, but a deal breaker if you are trying to capture a fleeting image.

The Nikon has slightly poorer picture quality than the Panasonic and that is not due to the pixel count, it is due to poorer processing of the image. BTW MP count should rarely be used as a benchmark for picture quality. Most DSLR's with 5MP that will blow a 12MP point and shoot camera away. But what's important to you is probably picture quality of 4x6" prints and computer viewed pictures. Both of these will be completely adequate for this.

If it were up to me and I had to choose between just these two, I'd go for the Panasonic even though it is about $50 more.
