Let's not be quoting ken Rockwell. Seriously.

Also, only reason for the smart ass reply is that there is seriously one of these threads every week or two. Search is your friend.

yea id try and look for a decent d50 that way you'll have more compatible lens

[Mr. Clean]

yeah but he'll spend like $400 for body and a decent lens to get started. the D40 is unbeatable for a noob. it's still fairly new and easy to use and produces really good shots.

The only time limitations would arise is when shooting a moving subject. I have an AF lens mounted on mine right now and I have no complaints. :camera:

yeah thats true, manually focusing really wouldnt be that big of a hassle unless you were shooting a racing event or wildlife photography.
