I was an ex-user of a Canon S3IS. I changed to DSLR because of what i cant achieve with my S3; bokeh, focusing speed, instant selection of focus points, no need to recompose as much as a PnS, noise control and obviously Image Quality.
Before i switch to DSLR, i did my own research on what DSLR can do and what's the downside of owning a dslr. Did you consider all the pros and cons of owning a dslr before jumping ship?
Why did you get a D40 when you know you wont get a 400mm focal length with it unless you invest in a 400mm lens whereas you can get 400mm on S3IS at 12x zoom? You yourself said you wont be bringing few lenses out to shoot something, why get a DSLR? You want an all rounder lens? The least you could've do is ask around this section for opinions before jumping to the DSLR bandwagon. And here you're complaining about yourself shouldn't have gotten a dslr
Stick with your D40 and explore all the possibilities that you can do with it b4 selling it off to get a PnS.

QUOTE(TheVoIP @ Jan 17 2008, 02:03 PM) Yo... Glad some one is human enought to understand my statements...  Sometime the advantages of using SLR is hard to explain via words and pure logics. Some time it need no reasons. It is more like having fun. Sometime I also see people shooting with 300 f2.8 for potrait or fashion, which actually I think no need one la... But siok la.. BIG ma...   have you even seen in one event, the models are only 5-6 meters infront of you, and suddenly one guy popped up beside you and use a Nikkor 300mm/2.8 to shoot? lol. that time it was damn hilarious and when i found out, he just bought the 300mm... BIG ma.. shiok |

QUOTE(darthbaboon @ Jan 17 2008, 04:21 PM) I love your reasoning bro...  And don't worry I don't look at the D40X with such loathsome hate anymore. ;p Btw quick question to save me some precious time going through the thick manual : I) Bro Burgaflippinman mentioned "There is a meter telling you whether you shot would be correctly exposed or not." Where's this located? II) How to activate Liveview? Does D40X have it? Any histogram for this liveview? Cheers! I)And here's the prob, RTFM. II) Want liveview? Buy D300, rm5.7k |

RM 5.7k for liveview and even more mysterious buttons and functions..... *run for your life!*  All it takes is a little effort to find out how your D40x works or generally how all DSLR work which you wouldn't have come here whining about it telling ppl how come S3 can show you whether it's underexposed or overexposed while D40x cant. Rite? No. 7 is your electronic meter that tells you whether the picture is under or overexposed when you look thru your VIEWFINDER.

get a big ass cam eventhough it doesnt fit your requirements, get a batt grip, 70-200/2.8 with it's lens hood and the mother of all flash. you'll definately look pro.
