But the salesman has a point.
The D40 is a TRUE budget camera.
Cannot autofocus with the RM3xx Nikkor 50mm F1.8D (the lens EVERY Nikon user has.)
The D40 is meant to be a dSLR when you're really broke. You will join others in selling this off after 3 months (or when you have money) when you discover you can't use the great Tamron 90mm F2.8 Macro or Nikkor 50mm F1.8D on autofocus. In other words, the D40 is handicapped in the dark.
If you ask me, they should stop trying to cash in on the n00bs who go "WAH 10 megapixels!" and work on a AF-S version of the Nikkor 50mm F1.8D.

nikon users without having the chance to use nikkor 50mm f1.8 autofocus is really wasted....this lense is super sharp....
