I have a d300 and if you plan to get serious a used d200 would be a great place to start. You really can't go wrong these days with any mid-range Nikon or canon. I held out for the last 5 years with a fuji s2 pro and I can still crank out awesome images with it. The main thing is to not limit yourself with a low end camera that only takes low end glass and has limited functions. Even though the fuji was outdated, there was not much it could not do it terms of function. The d40 is a toy.
- A toy? I'd hardly class it as that?!Raniator
- if I had to choose between a decent point and shoot that could save raw and a d4o. I would go for the point and shoot like the Canon G9danthon
- shoot like the Canon G9. Anything that is bigger than my pocket had better be worth packing a camera bagdanthon
- So would you class the 400D as a toy?Raniator
- I have never shot with a 400d so I am not aware of its limitations. I have shot with a d40. My research ended when i got the d300. too busy shoooting ;-)danthon

- i have to disagree with danthon. don't limit yourself by buying a high end camera and end up not having enough $$ for lenses! the d40x does have an af drive in the body so you won't be limited by lens choice at all.bigtrick

- unless something has changed in the last 2 months. There is no af drive.danthon
