you or any of your friends experiencing any bad things happened when the bought 2nd hand unit?
d50 is quite old for a second hand, 1 or 1 1/2 years or more
the kit lens that comes with the d40 can auto focus right?

nice dude!

i like it when the from the top blue changes to orange.
ummm, what the heck its called umm.. gradient?

D40/x can only AF on all those lenses that have motor

now i know why there and Apeture and Shutter speed priority mode in DSLR..

which I didnt bother to use last time when using s3is..

more feedback pl0x. need to choose either d40 or e-510

On some condition ppl will use it. An example when i wan to shoot a lot of photo using same Apeture continuosly or wanna do some effect. Shutter also the same thing.


Better go for D40.

Sorry, never have any experiences on a used unit. Try buy an used unit from camera shop, usually they'll give you few months warranty on it. Of course D40 can auto focus with the kit lens, check the first page of this thread to see what lenses can autofocus with D40/40x.

dun think...get d40...
think twice...get d300~
ez maaa....

Don't get Olympus... four thirds sucks

D200/300 gives different results compared to D40... from experience unless you are confident in playing around with the settings to achive a desired effect it will give you very plain/bland pictures with default settings. D40 will give more vivid photos out of the box without the need for as much tweaking.

Oh ya.. Keat there got 1 2nd hand D2Hs

Far out, just tested it on mine and it worked. We tested it in store last time on a D80 and it didn't work, so I never bothered. Thx

I bought mine here in Australia so my prices aren't really relevant I think... if you convert the prices it's a lot more expensive here. The place where I work sells digital cameras and stuff as part of their range but they don't really carry much high end equipment. I managed to get them to order in the 190XPROB so I paid cost (approx. AUD$190) and used it with a lousy head until I found the 488RC0 (~$150), exchange rate is pretty high right now so all up it was around RM1k. I had a choice between the RC0/RC2/RC4 but RC2 has no spirit levels and RC4 is too big.

I was deciding between flash and head as well, but Nikon stuff is heavily overpriced here so I might hold out until Feb when I'm in KL and get a SB-800 then.

Hahaha, I'm not poisoned, now using ciplak Manfrotto tripod, Victoria and very much satisfied with it!

Act. i m quite interested on Manfrotto oso.. thinking to get a monopod
