yup, i understand.But with big+bulky D40,at least ppl will have confident on me. That just my opinion, implied to myself only,hehe..I had a friend who used PnS,n he did marvelously..

yup,later your mom give big angpow..

haha.... the nicer you shoot the bigger tha ang pow!!!

anyone hav a probs with D40 3point of focus? compare to other model which hav more than 3..

i faced some when i was using D40..

3 focus points is seriously limiting.

it was rather limiting...
but back then...i had to make use of what i had only...
so it's more of accomadating shooting style with my equipment..
but now...=)
it's totally different story!
with 51 AF points!

fuh.. dam lanc~!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....
but actually...i prefer lesser AF points...
ez to control...=)

Most of the time I just use the center AF point and then AF lock it and recompose the frame, so I think more or less AF points dun really matters to me.

More focus points are useful for fast pacing objects like in sports or racing. Other than that I think 3 focus is more than enough.

im having problem focusing to a wall. dont ask

ANY camera oso will have problem focussing at a low contrast object...
to focus a wall...especially flat colored ones...u need to manual focus...

tats not ur fault la.. i think even xand's D300 cant..

exactly...
and i m using d300 + 105VR...
unless there's a bit of variation on the surface...=)

cant AF on full pure colour 1

when ifirst used i also tot that it was quite troublesome not able to focus properly with 3 af point...then after using it a while i think its really not much problem... just move your af point to the object yo wanna focus and while pressing halfway, recompose your pic and press down...voala!!

Do u guys know any prime lens that is less than rm400? +AF

wanna use it for portrait shots. Tried my frens 50mm f/1.8, the colors were really sharp.

Also wanna ask, smaller f-value (big aperture) can get more DOF?
Me still noob.

what orenzai said is true.
in fact, i started of with one focusing point. the film era!

One focusing point + manual focus only during the older film era!

Check the first page of this thread for prime lenses compatible with D40/D40x.

Small f-value (big aperture) = less DOF = less things in focus
Big f-value (small aperture) = more DOF = more things in focus
