Thanks for the recommendation on the d40 Soub.

By the way, I found out that the d300 will accept old nikon/nikor lenses even from the non-digital era which is good news since I have a macro & wide angle lens (assumin I ever buy a d300). For zomm seems Nikon's VR 18-200mm is the jack of all trades.

The D40 will take any legacy Nikon lens. The autofocus won't work though. My old kit is Pentax, so I don't have any legacy problems.

 

For Mantas: I ruled out the Pentax DSLR because it runs on disposables. Dedicated batteries may be a pain (sometimes), but they work.

The D40 and D40x cannot use the autofocus function on the AF lenses because it aint got a motor, but it can use the AF-S lenses and use the len's "Silent Wave" servo.

 

Just love those Nikkor lenses. Innovations all round.

BP u probably mean the 18-200mm right?

I do not own it either, was just thinking out loud about a good lens to get going forward. I agree, looks like a niiiice one albeit pricey. I saw Amazon actually offers some package for when the d300 comes out. d300+vr18-200 lens. Supposedly good deal. Only ship in the US though I think.
