QUOTE(clemong_888 @ Nov 16 2006, 04:11 PM) i dunno but i'm not overly impressed.. the auto focus cutbacks are abit extreme even if it's 300usd cheaper..  If that's the case, then Nikon did a few mistakes in this round : 1. They 'kill' other lens : only AFS and AFI lenses can be used to have AF. 2. They should put back 5-point AF instead of 3-point - it was silly to reduce it. 3. Small body is also a 'duh' - I bet it would be cheaper to produce a D40 out of a D50 chasis. |

In the Canon world, female SLR photographers either uses entry levels or professional bodies to shoot, I hardly see one in-between. It's not the matter of they can afford or not, they're also CAPABLE of using what the other gender can use. Hardware distinguishes no sex If ppl say 'cheap lenses are only for newbies' you listen also boh song right? |
