I've never owned a digital camera, but am working in Germany this fall so I'm thinking I should invest in one. Can anyone offer any ideas as to which one I should get? My only requirement is that it is slim, as in less than an inch. Is this one my best bet? Also, cheaper is better.

@Brett Benedict: Canon or bust. I've always used Canons, and I'm in love with them.
If you go too cheap, some lesser companies use part-plastic lenses, which don't take as good pictures so watch out for that if you're going in the low $100 - $150 range...

I got excited when I saw the 18-200mm VRII Nikkor which I've really been eying lately. But if you read the fine print, that's only if you buy the D300. Any ideas on a good lens with great zoom that's compatible with my D60?

@achinda99:

when I had my D70s, the 70-300 VR served as a nice zoom lens for under $500. Not really as all-in-one as the 18-200 VRII, but then again you're not paying nearly as much. There is however, competition 18-200 image stabilized glass from Sigma that has gotten really nice reviews for ~$350
