Well I soon will be making the big plunge. I am buying a DSLR in about a month. I am leaning on a Nikon D40x. I am a total beginner. Is this a good one or does Canon have something better? I need something that will do everything for me until I get the hang of it. My plans are I want to take pics of my travels around the country both scenic and normal closer shots. I also want to get detailed close-ups of snakes for postings and ads. What else do I need to buy? What lenses should I get? Should I get a detachable flash, tripod, filters, etc.?

Thanks,
Dan
