That has the kit lens and already it seems so much crisper than my 350D. Slightly more than I would pay for a camera, and it means changing existing lenses from canon to nikon, but do you think its worth it? The D40 is excellent, and I went for it over Canon's equivalent as it got better reviews, but if you've already got Canon lenses/body, I'd stick with canon, unless you think the Nikon is a lot better. What I paid for the D40 almost two years is almost twice what it is now to get a D50! I've just got a Lowepro camera bag as well - holds everything in neat compartments, and was a bargain on Amazon.

Leofric	Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2007 10:38 pm Pictures from Warwick Castle Okay, the weather was diabolical, but here's some pictures I took at Warwick Castle. Mainly done to experiment with my new wide angle lens, so some are in wide angle... Hence the odd distortion.
