That's exactly what I need ... I'm not really *into* photography, but I'm interested in learning more ... I'm tired of getting crappy shots from my current digital camera because a.) I don't know enough and b.) I have to wait for the camera to take the shot and by the time it does whatever cute thing my dog/nephew/niece was doing is long over.
My head was spinning after learning about all the lenses and filters and blah, blah, blah stuff that she recommended ... but I'm game to learn! And she said pretty much the same thing -- it's a good "beginner's" SLR -----Original Message----- From: Zaphod Beeblebrox [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2007 8:57 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Thank you Santa! Yeah, I'm pretty certain I would've gone for a D40 had it worked with my older lenses. It's a great starter setup, easy to use in auto mode, and configurable enough once you get comfortable with it.
