This is why I just got a d40. I'm serious about photography, but completely new to slr's, and I couldn't really beat the price with the lenses, I got the 18-55 and the 55-200 VR. So far it's massive fun, especially the 55-200, when I stop taking myself so seriously. The settings aren't one-button direct access, but are still quick to change; the only thing I might prefer is the extra command wheel. It's regularly recommended as a backup for pro's, and is routinely compared with the xti, a camera that costs $200 more, only the d40's kit lens is better. It has it's drawbacks, primarily the limited selection of lenses that will autofocus and meter, and you have to watch out for the saturation and white balance tending towards the red, but it's massive fun to play around with. I'm happy cause I effectively spent that extra $200 on another lens, which, as has been said before, it's better to spend on glass than on the camera body.
