im a fan of both camera companies, as i feel both of them provide great entry level / pro level equipment to consumers
but the d40 was honestly a marketing gimmick IMHO. for people that want a DSLR, and want to get serious, they will outgrow the body within months... which in turns means theyre just going to have to spend more money on a different body...
i think they came out with it to grab the market of uneducated consumers that want to take a leap into the dSLR world, and theyre doing a very good job at it low price, nice big lcd screen, a decent amount of megapixels, whats not to like!
its a shame that its really just a p&s with a removable lens
but anyways, Jecht isnt looking for a DSLR so we'll save this convo for another day![]()
