Is the Nikon D60 good for potraits? Or a Canon d40?

I am new to photography and I just purchased the Nikon D60. My daughter does photo contests and pageants and I am tired of paying bug bucks for photo shoots. Will the Nikon take good quality portraits or am I better off going with the Canon? I got the Nikon camera with another bigger lens and it was $300 cheaper vs. the Canon. I dont want to sacrifice quality so can anyone give me any advice on the two? Sorry if I sound like an idiot but I really dont know anything about this stuff. Just trying to learn…

As a novice photographer, you will have to begin a steep learning curve to get good portrait shots, much less professional looking. It’s not the camera, but the skill and knowledge of the photographer that are more important. That said, a great portrait lens for a crop sensor is the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8, at around $100. Very sharp, and will allow you to get those “bokeh backgrounds” that many here on Y!A ask about.
