[QUOTE="moggs, post: 424491, member: 32689"] if you've got a lot of old Nikkor glass with your 35mm slr, you're probably better off not going for the Nikon D40 since, like the others have said, it won't autofocus lenses unless they're AF-S (or Sigma HSM lenses, which also have motors built into the lens) otherwise, I can recommend the D40, since 'affordable' was one of your criteria I dunno where the idea that the D40's high ISO performance was bad came from, everything I've read (and discovered through using my own D40) indicates its high ISO performance is one of its stronger points... the D40 kit lens is also generally regarded as better than comparable offerings from other manufacturers.. although if you get serious you'll probably want to switch it for something a little better but to be honest you won't go wrong with any Nikon or Canon you buy nowadays, at any price point... and like anything, it's the eye behind the equipment that makes the difference can I share with you a shot I took with my D40 last week..? it was one of those "stop the car, I need to take a pic!!" moments [IMG]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1112/561456964_225581bf20_b.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
