>>154311 In a sense, this is entirely true, because photography should not be a matter of the gear you have, the overpriced lenses you buy, etc. but rather your skills and eye for composition.
The D40 is a great camera, despite all the amateurs and soccer moms that buy them without the first clue on how to use a camera. They do have more than a few features you'll never really need, considering you could rely solely on the various priority modes and auto mode in "photojournalism" cases where you need to get the shot and don't care how you go about doing it. But in the need, more is better than less.
>>154345 By that accord, a "real photographer" is someone who goes out and buys a Nikon D200 or a Canon EOS D1 "because the ads and other people told me so", takes pictures in high quality jpegs, then sits at home and fiddles around with Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom until it "looks good." RAW format gives you more options with your pictures, and has absolutely no affect on the amount of "time" you spend either taking pictures or organizing them.
