>>259018>>259025>>259039>>259040>>259043>>259055Successful troll is successful.Fucking faggots. Get the hell out of here.
OP is a troll
>>259043I've used one a couple times, and I've gotta say it's the crappiest Canikon DSLR I've ever held. Feels cheap, handles bad, and makes you want to shoot Ken Rockwell once you've touched something better.
One of my friends just got a D40.What's so bad about them?Please let me know. She bought it recently so if it is awful she can still return it and get something else...
>>259237Only reason I went D80 over D40 was the lack of an AF motor. Commander mode, larger viewfinder, top LCD, and dual control wheels were bonuses.
>>260204why would you sage this you dick?
>>260208The better question is, why did I post it at all? Everyone here already knows about the D40's AF issues, and this is *clearly* a troll thread. So why do I feel so goddamned compelled to ramble about camera technology all the time?It's a mystery.
>>259237well the sigma 30mm or 50mm HSM will autofocus with it and they are fucking good lenses. just expect to pay double or more than the nikkor 50mm 1.8D.if you wanna be really cool, i recommend u find an old nikkor 50mm 1.8 for dirt cheap and a lightmeter. then slap the DK-21M viewfinder and some catz eyes(split prism focusing screen) on there and you'll be the most bad-ass photographer in town.that's what i'm considering doing, except i'm apprehensive about not being able to meter/focus quickly for moving things. that setup is probably better for portraits or studio photography than photojournalism.
>>260214>Everyone here already knows about the D40's AF issues, and this is *clearly* a troll thread.1.) Most of the people who post on 4chan do not regularly visit /p/ and are not privy to the discussions that go on here.2.) If "everyone" knew about the D40's AF issues it wouldn't still be selling incredibly well at major retail outlets across America.I think the OP may have been a troll, but I see no reason to shit on the anon posting in>>260200>>259237
>>260237>I see no reason to shit on the anon posting...Presumably the person asking the question was checking this thread specifically for replies. So saging didn't hurt them at all.And by saging, all of the people who are sick of hearing about the D40 can ignore it.Decouple the concept of saging and the concept of "shitting on someone's thread"
>>260246>Decouple the concept of saging and the concept of "shitting on someone's thread"It's the same thing.You're saying "This discussion should get on its way to Page 10 and off the board as quickly as possible."
>>260235don't be silly. saging serves no purpose other than to keep your post from bumping it to the top again.there's nothing more annoying than seeing the same 4 gear posts every time i visit /p/ and all the good threads are on pg 10.besides, those that are really interested in the discussion have probably bookmarked it. well that's how i do it.also, SAGE for unrelated post.
