Or even a photography course. My mentor (gut I work with, sort of semi-pro photographer) takes pics with an older DSLR that I can only dream of. Learning to use thses things is far more important that megapixels and big screens.

Amen, using it properly and good post processing with have a greater impact than a few mega pixels could ever have. He has a fantastic gallery.

Saying that, I want his 5D + 17-40 :D

Laingo you working/training as a shooter or just a hobby?

Nah just a hobby mate. Wayne is an engineer in a brewery like me - He does his photography in his spare time.

But Ive learnt more i one lesson with Wayne than £500 on a new camera could ever achieve. Although he does have some f**king lovely gear. lol.

anyone know if the d40x is a full frame sens or not?? cos if it is that would make it worth the extra money... if not... then its not really worth it...

www.dpreview.com is a really good site with a good forums dedicated to camera types and models etc... if u wanna see what the camera can really do look on there.

the only differences between the d40 and d40x are the megapixels, the d40x has 3fps shooting instead of 2.5 and the iso settings are from 100-1600 instead of 200-1600

yes but if the d40x has a bigger sensor (physical size) than the d40... it would be a better option... if it has a full frame sensor then again its a better choice

FF at entry level.... computer say no... same 1.5x crop.... I'd be shooting Nikon if they did though...

There's no right or wrong!

But if you intended to use a wide apeture (low f number) to creat a shallow depth of field the you've suceeded alright! :D
