>>86624 Maybe at first, but over time, heavier bodies get to you. Fatigue of the hands, neck, etc. is not an ingredient of good hand-holding.
I know a few professionals, and none of them employs a professional body or a battery grip for weight; they prefer the square shape, not the big size. One of them does own some 1Ds series bodies, but he shoots even in the studio primarily with a 5D; the other just owns a 5D and a 40D. Both of them use the battery grip, but again, not for the weight. In fact, just the opposite: they actively dislike the weight.
Also, see attached pic.

The concept of a "professional camera" is just a marketing label for an expensive camera with features needed by a few types of professionals: some photojournalists need the rugged body, sports photographers need the insane number of autofocus sensors and FPS, etc. There's nothing inherently professional about them or unprofessional about a D40. It just has a few less features.
As for lighting control, I've heard some stuff about that, but got the impression it was across the Nikon range. Maybe just the D40 doesn't have it. But I'm sure you can still manage with the old shoe-mount controller and so on.
