i am a newbie in dslr. just bought my d40 not too long ago.
swdpite the claims of non compantible lens except the AFS series.. i agree.. but seriously... unless u plan to get legacy lens, then d40 is out.
but look at it this way... new afs lens are hese..
AFS 55-200 around Rm7++
AFS 18-135 around Rm850 to rm100 depending on seller..
so what the bid deal on lens compatability? all the super zoom is kinda affordable.
only restrictions are those prime lens and some good non afs lens..
also no bat grip.
BUT... pairing a super cool high end non afs onto d40??? it's only a 3 point focus cam, 6 megapx... it will not act like dx2 or d200... only chasing d80... remember d40 is an entry level cam... what you compose is more important.. dont ya think?
by the time u are getting serious... then up to d80 or d200 lah... or canon..
it all depends on how far u willing to stretch your wallet.. cos canon 350d can take all canon lens...
you can always get the impreza.. or you can put a turbo in kancil... but the expereince and satisfaction will of owning either one is never the same.

QUOTE(polkiuj @ Mar 26 2007, 06:37 PM) So how many MP u want? 20? 30? 6 is MUCH more than enough unless u plan u print billboards (which of course, i'm guessing u won't). Most people (that i know anyway) dun even print anymore! O.o Then again, U want 200 point focus? Good luck selecting thru all that points. Sure, 5 points is nice.. but is it really needed for the extra money u pay? Of course, a prime lens is nice to have. But i think i'll prefer zoom lenses since prime lenses can get irritating (too much or too little zoom). I've used the 18-55mm zoom nikkor and it works great. Y bother with a prime lens (unless u really, absolutely need it)? did you not complete primary school? you must be the biggest idiot to even suggest 200 focus point and we all know mega pixels aint the matter.. my point is people and reviews pointing out the lens compatability with non afs/.. thus confusing potential buyers with no experience to deem this product unsuitable and limited capabilities. isn't that a fact? potential new buyers with limited experience will always think rational.. what can i equip with my limited purchase? it's normal.. that's human behaviour... squeezing more from less... so chill out.. |

no worries...
let's share what we know .. at least we can provide a platform for those who wants to venture into dslr and are choosing based on thier findings bout incompatability, pricing and usage...
most importantly.. pricing and usage are the most important for first time users like me....
