Well I'm new to photography of course, I had Point and shoots but I'm finding that I'm not happy at all with the images. I'm looking at a starter dSLR; I've looked at the Canon XT but this was too small for my hands. I found the D40 to be larger and more comfortable in my hands. I would prefer the D80 but that's out of my price range I don't think I'll be utilizing it. My concern are the lenses. Going with the D40 I'll need to look for AF-S ro AF-I if I want AF.

Is this a major deal?

 

I would recommend the D50 over the D40. It is only a little more costly.

 

Well I've got the camera and am playing with it for almost 2 days straight. I made the mistake of playing with the D80. Big mistake.

At first I didn't really think the info would be helpful but it sure would be alot more user friendly. To make adjustsments I find it a bit annoying to look at the main screen. I'm going to return the D40 and maybe step up to a D50/D70/D80. Thanks for the confirmation guys
