the D40x costs $200 more. its got the same sensor as the D80 thus shoots at 10.2 megapixels instead of 6.1 like the regular D40.

i see pictures from both and they both look just as good. i guess with mine you could crop in a little bit more if you have to but really not that much of a difference. you made a great purchase. what lenses did you get?

meh fisheye does nothing for me. i purchased the camera with the 2 lens package. the 18-55 kit lens and the 55-200. i took the 55-200 back to the store (i purchased online) and they gave me full credit towards the 55-200VR. i HIGHLY recommend getting the VR version of any lens. it costs a little bit more but does wonders when you freehand shots zoomed in.

the 55-200VR is $250. great purchase for me.

I've got a Canon Powershot camera that shoots at 12.1 megapixels. I don't know much about cameras, but i love this one!

very nice shots. D40x user here as well. i highly recommend a hot shoe flash if you plan to shoot at night. the SB600 is a good buy at 250 and with a tripod, your shots will be golden

can you explain the "hot shoe flash" please? a friend of mine just went with the SB800 and that thing is really nice. i see the 600 is just a slightly smaller variation pretty much. i wanted the smallest external flash possible so i was looking at the 400.
