>>147744 I wanted nikon, and the d40 with 18-55 and 55-200 VR is about the best deal you can get(I prefer telephoto focal lengths), especially since I got it to learn on and plan to upgrade. Now, if any of my interests required fast primes that I needed to focus quickly with, it'd be annoying. Manual focus with my 60mm macro isn't too bad, I'm getting used to it pretty quick. The two lenses I got with the camera have served me well. The few times I've shot indoors with low lighting, my lack of a flash and general inexperience at shooting people had more of an impact than my lens aperture. So if he's interested in nikon, I'd say get the d40, but shell out 200 for the extra lens, and he'll have a hell of a lot to learn with.
