it does not have mechanical focus drive pin

and onli AF-S/AF-I can be used coz have CPU contacts to drive the build in focus motor

i dun understand.. u want an affordable one.. but u wanted it to have features of the higher end models in it... rclxub.gif

AFAIK, none of the current DSLR models is small + light + powerful + not so expensive.

littlegreen, you seem to already have a mind in what you want or something.

i think it's no point for US to tell you want you should get already.

the choices are clear, D40 or D80 - they're both good. D80 you complain pricey, D40 you complain lense issue (not that it really has lense problem).

the funny thing is here you are complaining D80 expensive yet D40 you talk about changing lenses - which could add up to the same amount.

so my suggestion to you is

1. tell us your budget for your initial setup.
2. tell us the lense range that you intend to get over what period of time. smile.gif

QUOTE(shinchan^^ @ Jan 29 2007, 05:08 PM)
just that u cannot use the AF lens


correct me if i'm wrong ShinChan sifu, but AFAIK you CAN use AF lens on D40. just that only the AF-S / AF-I will work with D40's auto-focusing but not the AF lens.

yeaps u're right...lenses that u cant use are most of the primes and 3rd party lenses. gives u a limited choice. u'd be better off getting all the big guns like the 70-200,17-55,105,12-24 but if u had that much money, i'd suggest getting d d80 tongue.gif

as u said, littlegreen, a budget!

erm. yeah la. smile.gif my point was that you CAN use them. biggrin.gif just that as you what you said, telephoto + zoom + fast action without AF would be an issue.

so again, i guess it all boils down to the buyer's type of photography. biggrin.gif which reminds me that i gotta save up for WIDE angle lens.
