Hi Abraham -
I just lent my daughter my D90 so she can take some nice photos of her little guy. This is a great camera. Don't undersell it because it is old. It can take sport photos at 5 clicks per second to freeze action, the video option is not bad either. I have taken some great photos with this camera.
My suggestion is to get Busch's guide to the D90 that will help you unleash it's full potential. Go here:
http://www.powells.com/book/david-buschs-nikon-d90-guide-to-digital-slr-photography-9781598639056/2-2Also, about lenses, I have the following and would like to recommend the 50mm. Although not a zoom, it is fast and AWESOME.
Nikkor AF 18-35mm ED IF f/3.5-4.5D, retail $747,
Nikkor AF-S 18-200mm DX ED SWM VR IF, retail $646, and
Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8, retail $131
If you decide to invest in a lens, I would suggest purchasing a full frame lens. A full frame lens will work on the D90. It will also transfer if you decide to upgrade to a full frame Nikon. Love that about the Nikons...the lenses can be shared among family members and are swappable when you upgrade cameras. In the Busch book, he has a great chapter that explains the various nomenclature designations for the Nikon lenses, a great way to learn.
Good luck! Excited for you! ~ Eileen
