I looked at the D40X but the 3 points of focus, no AF drive for the lens and the fact that the D40 series is not compatable with most of Nikons professional lens was a big factor. The D80 is a huge step up from the Kodak I got now and will serve as a great second camera some day...
What do you mean the D40 isn't compatible with the lenses?
With some research on the internet and talking with folks down at the camera shop it became evident that the D40 series does not have the drive for the autofocuse lens and most of nikon's higher end lens will not physically fit , to include the "equivalent" sigma lens. |

| D40 doesn't support lenses with no autofocus lenses as I understand. If you are buying a D40, you are not really going to dump thousands of dollars into high end Nikon lenses or older Nikon lenses anyways. |

This is true, and I dont want to limit myself in case I can luck into a better lens some time down the road. We got to have our dreams right??? |
