win or no?

Very much win. It's a good model. You only need to start feeding that beast worthy glass.

If only the fuckers didn't screw up the metering and I could use my fabulous 105/2.5 AiS on it...

Be happy you didn't get a D40 and then you lose half the autofocus lenses in the range, including some real classics.

So the D40 sucks? What about the D40x?

Same deal, really. The D40x is even more expensive and offers no real upgrade for the money. The D40 will do the same thing for less. Spend it on lenses or getting a D80 instead and you'll really reap the benefits.

I can remember Ken Rockwell wasn't too impressed and is sticking with his D40 as a mini-cam back up and advised others to ignore the D40x too.

costs twice as much.

It isn't that the d40 sucks, it's that it doesn't have an autofocus motor in the body, so it only has af with lenses that have a motor in them. So a lot of classic lenses, like the 50mm 1.8, won't autofocus. N80, like most nikons, will autofocus with pretty much all of their lenses.

whatever camera you buy just make sure you get the best deal possible for it. Dont worry about what camera is better and all that jazz. whatever one you get there will always be a better one on the market.

its going to depreciate like shit anyway and you'll see its price lower on a monthly basis.

look on dpreview.com and way up each camera you look at.

mysql failure loves us all equally. That's why it is so generous and giving.

just buy a d200 and be done with it.

hey, you guys know we're talking about the N80 right? as in the film camera.
>> Liska !!LIVFOETqL8j
>>90947

yeah, but barely anyone aside from me (that I know of) actually has one. It's my main camera, and I love it.

i guarantee there are hundreds of thousands sitting in closets across the world, unused, forgotten.

having said that, f100 is a bigger win, and almost as cheap.

Don't worry Butterfly. I think we have a fair idea what you'd have to say in any thread
