If you're new to photography, you're going to get pretty much the same results from a £200 setup as you are from a £2000 one, as you don't know how to exploit the features well enough to make use of them.
The D40 isn't a 's**t' camera, basic yes, but far from s**t. And coming from a P&S, I...
I was going back through some of my pics from when I went to Dubai a couple of years ago, armed with a D40, kit lens and 55-200. I'm now scared that when I go back in 2 weeks with all my newer gear that my pictures won't be as good, lol!
Awesome camera for the price :)
I'd also agree with this. The D40 is a PERFECT beginner DSLR, plus at the price Clart is selling it at you could afford to have it for a year and sell it if/when you decide to upgrade and lose no money.
The only thing that limits the D40 against newer entry level Nikon's is the way it handles ISO.
I'm afraid to say that I'm warming to it. It would be a decent daily.
I'd still prefer a manual. That said, the novelty of a paddle shift would probably win me over on a test drive. When I drove Dave's R32 for 5 minutes it made me giggle!
It still looks a bit downy, though.
I don't know I I'll bother at first tbh. My Xbox is my DVD player nowadays, can't remember the last time I played a game on there.
I'll still buy one, lol.
