I will go take a class, Then I am going to go talk w/ the guy who shot my wedding and follow him around like a mule on several of his jobs. Right now it will just be a hobby. Oh and the d40 doesnt have auto focus???

I may have this backwards but the d40 and d40x bodies do not Auto Focus. You have to use certain Nikon mount lenses that have motors in the lens. Thus this is a smaller market and means more expensive.

A d50 for instance uses all the standard Nikon mount lenses and has an AF motor in the body as most dSLR cameras do.
