Getting closer and closer every time dude.

#4 would've been perfect if you would have gotten it in focus.

I don't shoot raw I should jpeg because it takes up less space on my cards. Raw is somewhat better than jpeg because it doesn't throw away information to edit the images in photoshop. Most photos come out grainy in photoshop after you edit them if their jpeg. But for me I don't have to worry about that because I shoot it right in the camera so I won't have to use photoshop at all. I don't use auto on the camera I do all my settings manually, that's how I was taught. D40 is a good start man!! Keep me posted on your improvement. If you ever need any help pm me, I'm always down to help the next person. Hope all is well.. deuces!!

Yea I would love to shoot in Raw but with that an L I can only take like 40 or so pics on my 2gig on max res as I recall need to double check. But yea it takes up crazy memory. Why dont they make an external hard drive or card deal that you can use! IT would make life easier haha.

you do you need both RAW and jpeg? just shoot in RAW you can easily get over 200 pix. i also use a 2gig card and get about 219 RAW images

No but I select it sometimes lol just to see what the difference of the two is. I mostly shoot in L though.

You dont become pro overnight. its not hard to find prices its called google.

I shoot alot of weddings so that's about 2k pictures just for that day. Imagine shooting in just raw and they trying to upload those babies lmao.. that would take FOREVER. Luckly I have the Nikon D200 (just updated to the new D300) but I invested in the wireless uploading so while im shooting my camera automatically transmits the images to my computer that I have in a closet or something. Technology is the bomb hahaaa

They do, but you really don't want to know how much it costs.

The D40 doesn't give you good "ZOOOOM" as you put it. The lens does that. Good quality lenses are expensive, and good zooms are even more so. They also typically tend to have a shorter zoom range than the typical point & shoot camera. Then again, the typical point & shoot camera has a much tougher time capturing an image of equal quality, and it certainly won't have the adjustability.

If you want to get into photography, I'd suggest a trip to the library or lessons. It's not something you want to just jump into or you might end up wasting a lot of money if you decide it's not for you. A basic D40 with a kit lens (not including a memory card that will hold more than 16 images) will end up costing you anywhere from $500-650. Digital SLR cameras aren't cheap.

[NAiL05]

Haha I am pretty sure its expensive. I was just thinkin about adapting a comp hard drive onto it. Since I can get a 250gig external for like 140 lol.

I own both a d40 and d50, i love both of them. the only thing i don't love is the fact that the d40 can only use digital lens. luckily i found a nice d50 body for only $300 which is a steal. so now i can use both old and new lens.
