I'm in love with our Nikon D40 after lots of trial & error! It's great..only you can't zoom very much. Spoilt by the Panasonic Lumix.

But it's awesome.

ebernie - haha yes! all we need is money for that 18-200!

yep, but it'd be worth your while to invest in it then go for a better camera IMHO! also depends on what you're shooting....i love making food (okay okay, baking! haha) so I've been into food photography which does AWESOME with a 50mm. haha, it's okay with Manual Focus because at least they stay still!

ALSO guys! I'm getting a SB600 for RM500 today! Really excited, was going to invest so much more in a SB800 but decided against it - for a rookie like me & my sistah, we do fine with the SB600

I'll be posting pictures of my shots with it as soon as I get it!

*slaps self*
I can't believe I didn't wait a few months and got a d40! Well I got it second hand at RM1,400 & the flash cost RM500 second hand as well from a photographer friend who's leaving for Australia

yup! i did, the flap to turn the head is missing but it's easy to press. Ill probably stick something there! handy man skills yo

oh and thanks! who is TS? *goes off to check*
