Guide Nikon
I need an online guide for DSLRs and their lens, please?

I am interested in learning digital photography. I know the basics, but I'd like to learn the more advanced stuff. For example, looking at the mm on a lens and knowing the max zooms, etc. For my first camera I am going to be buying a Nikon D90. Any websites and guides that you can show me will be a big help. Thanks =D

This is the best one I have found. It covers many major brands and all the available bodies for those brands. It is also very easy to use. They have great in-depth reviews for most DSLRs. They also cover many lenses. This is the place that helped me most when choosing my brand and even my model.

There are also forums on dpreview which are focused on different brands and models so the other users are very helpful in helping you with just about any question related to photography or cameras. I think it is technically based in the UK, but there are many, many users from all over the world. There is a great sense of community though on many of the forums. I think you will find it a great place to just chit chat with other photographers as well.

edit-I did a side-by-side comparison of a few Nikons including the d90. If you go to buying guide and then select side by side comparison, you can select the models you want to compare and see them next to each other. It makes it easy to see where each is stronger.

And here is the page of lens reviews by manufacturer. Don't forget that Sigma and Tamron make some great lenses for most brands of DSLR.
