Headed out to take some more .............. controversial photos?    Just kidding man.  Congrats, should have some fun with that one.  I have the canon rebel, it takes really good pics.  Just wonder how much better the 40d is.

I've got the D-40x, and my mom has the D-40.  They both take amazing pictures.  You won't be let down with that one. 

Here's a shot with the D-40x from 3/4 mile, handheld, from a vibrating helicopter, with 55-200 non-VR lens on auto mode



And here's one from 800 yards, handheld on sports mode with same 55-200 lens



Needless to say that the camera will do wonders.  I can't wait to get the 70-300 VR lens!

Congrats, Dman.  Its nice to know that not everyone is overcome by the obvious Canon bias on this site.  Welcome to the dark side.

From what I've heard the 70-300 VR is a dynamite lens for the price, once you go VR you'll never look back!

 I went in the store open to Canon, or Nikon, but the guy offered me a really good deal on the Nikon, lot's of extras, case, digital albums, etc., and I liked the feel of the Nikon better.

i bought a Nikon d40 a couple years ago and really am happy with the quality and the ease of using the features..my kids are in sports and thought i needed a better than average set up.I'm certainly not a Photographer like alot of these other guys on here but as a recreational shooter I can say that you will be really satisfied with this camera.
