It's a fantastic camera. Pair it with the 18-200 VR and you have yourself a winner. That pair will get you through 95% of whatever you plan to do with your camera, unless you're a professional like I am. In which case I still use that combo most of the time because it's just that good!

It depends- if you want "features" (automatic settings because your'e a shit photographer)...then it's not really the best slr to get, but if you are smarter than a half-retarded monkey, it will produce exactly what you're capable of. The only exception is the shitty frame-rate if you're into autos/sport shots.

However, since I'm not Ken, I'll just go ahead and say "get the D60" instead. Fuck megapixels, fuck f/stops- the LCD shuts off when you put your eye up to it, and that's a huge selling point to me.

I'm sorry, but buying anything more than this camera is a waste. It's not the camera, it's the photographer, and this will produce the same results as anything else in the SLR industry.

half-pressing the shutter on the D40 shuts off the LCD, which you easily get used to doing if you use it for more than 2 minutes. So thats not any kind of advantage unless you used to work on railroads.

I worked at the Detroit Zoo doing photography for them and they supplied us with D40s and I would rather fucking get eaten by a lion then use one ever again. They fucking blow.

This is the one thing about Ken that pisses me off the most. Just because he can't tell the difference between ISO 1600 on this and a D3 doesn't mean that we can't. Just because he gets his wife to buy him all the new lenses he wants doesn't mean we all use DX format. Just because he things plastic is okay doesn't mean it will work for everyone.

I imagine that if I ever met him, he'd be a very snivelly and snotty person. There's an anecdote on his site about how, rather than giving his wife flowers, he leaves a $20 on the table and says "that's for flowers, because flowers die but you can use that to buy something." He says that she smiles and loves it.
Sounds like a real stand-up guy.

So what the fuck is up exactly with their insistence that they be paid all sorts of different ways to sell prints of wild animals they don't own copyright to?

i think its a powerful little camera that you can probably pick up for really cheap from people who bought it and got flamed

in hungary both the d40 and d60 cost the same (thats a mystery to me why), so its an easy choice.
