I hear ya, im leaning towards the d80 for more of a challenge. but the d40x is still looking the goods.

I had an old minolta for a few years back in school, then went onto a nikon f60m to a canon powershot something or other and am now keen to get back into more real photography... I miss the darkroom and still want to get that set up again sometime. I am really hoping that the new purchase will spur me on to get back into it and pretty full on like.


Good luck with the decision, and seriously pop in to a camera store and play with the pair of them... Ill be playing with the old mans d200 sometime this week to get a bit of a feel for it.
