I probably need a telescopic lens as my dad likes to take close ups and such.

Thanks for the help everyone!
They all come with the same amount of lenses (one) if you buy the kit. The D90 has the best lens, then the D60 and XSi are about the same. Macro lenses are gonna be expensive, and I'm not positive about how well the macro mode works on any of the cameras with the kit lens. Btw, a tele lens is different than a macro lens... a macro lens is for closeup stuff (bugs, flowers, etc) while a tele lens is for shooting stuff that is in a great distance. If you think he'll want to take landscapes you'd probably be better off with a good wide angle lens than a tele (if you can't afford both.)
