Well well well. When D80 came out to market on 15th of September, I thought this is it. This is the camera I’m going to buy… Eh Oh… Wrong. D40 came about about a month or so after that, and THAT is the one I want to buy. Yup. Reviews say that it’s got the similar technology as D80. Much cheaper (hey, I’m not made of money). A bit smaller, at least compare to D50. But hey, my hands are not big either. Smaller means lighter. Lighter means, I don’t have anything to grudge to bring it about. It’s got all the features that I need as a beginner photographer. So, yeah. It IS a perfect camera for me…
My only reservation to this camera is only one: the timing is not perfect. It came out when I just haven’t got the money!!! 
( Oh, well. What’s new about that? Turned out, people have to wait till they got their hands on a D40. Maybe it’s a sign…???
