As soon as you buy one its out of date!! The D60 is on its way, but to be honest, IMO, your best bet is still the D40 and get some extra stuff with the money! See my post below this one for some indoor pics with D40 & 55-200 vr lens.

Going to take it out over the weekend to get landscapes/horses/yard and whatever else there is around! Will post the results.

55-200 vr, quite decent glass for £130 IMO.

Nothing too exciting, but these are the firsts shots with the new lens on the D40, changed the settings on a few, last one is at 200mm. Quite pleased with the results so far, will take it out and about over the weekend!

^^ as above? Are you using Manual Focus as they all seem a little out?

VXR for me. Wouldn't say the 197 is any more refined!! All down to personal choice and what one you prefer on your test drives!! For that money you could pick up a Demo with 99miles...

Over £100k quicker!

Panasonic NV-GS37 — £250 Solid back-to-basics choice for movie newbies Guess what? You don’t need a high-definition camcorder, clever hard-disk storage or posh three-chip sensors to shoot good movies. The GS37 employs standard MiniDV tapes and of all the nonHD cameras under review, it took the...

Got mine for £122!! not bad for a 55-200vr!

D40 kit lens is very good for what is the entry level lens. One of the best TBH.

Why get rid of the D40 for a D70?

I have got a pic in 6mp that is A2 in size. Can upload it if you want too see it? When you look at it in full pixel size the quality is a little lost. BUT, when you look at it in the actual print size its pretty damn sharp. Looks pretty good printed too :) I can upload it somewhere if you...

^^ what are they?? I'm new! lol

I dont think photoshop handles raw with good effect - hence the problem. I think thats the case anyway! ** edit that... you can get a raw plug in for photoshop. http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html

^^ I have lens cloth, forgot about that!! Just want to save for a nice macro lens, heard the sigma 10-20 is meant to be good?

I'm no pro, and was on a budget, but I'm quite impressed with all my kit, especially as I have only spent £530. Anything else I should add as an essential? Maybe a flash, but i'm not going to be using the camera much for indoors so not sure. Kit: D40 18-55mm lens 55-200mm VR lens UV...

Jessops salesman told me the D40x was the best entry level lol! I ignored him anyway!

Just ordered 2 :)

^^ lol lol lol lol!

Thinking of buyinga couple for my lenses, just for added protection. Any makes to look out for? People seem to use the Hoya ones, there only about £10 each. Any other cheap recomendations?!

The chav just raided Jessops!

^^ D50 IIRC.

^^ ok... erm... ah ha!!

I see plenty of black lens!! Anyway... back to the real world of lenses we can afford without having to sell a kidney.... Nikon FTW ;)

D40x is a waste of money IMO, better off getting D40 + extra lens for same price.

The lens with the motors in are actually not that expensive, Nikon, Sigma and now Tamron all do them, the 18-55, 55-200VR, 18-70, 18-135, 70-300VR, the new 16-85VR, 18-55VR, 24-120VR etc etc. You are far from limted on lenses on the D40, its justa myth started by Canon!

Go to camera shops and handle all the models (350d & D40) and see which one you prefer. The standard kist lens with the 350d is pretty average/poor so maybe just buy the body and get a better starter lens.

^^ saw that... found somewhere that had the other bag saying in stock... but it lied to me! Going to go to jessops and try out all the lowepro stuff over the weekend!

100-300 would be no good for close objects... If your looking at asn SLR you best bet is to get something like an 18-55 or 18-70 plus a 55-200 or 70-300. You can get all in one 18-200, but these get mixed reviews and you get less glass to play with. I have an 18-55 and 55-200VR which...
