Yea right and you have to link to a crazed nikon fanboy site to justify that the D40 is the best . Not sure but I think I've posted atleast a 100 times before. Buy a D40 if you don't plan to use anything beyond the kit lens and maybe a 55-200 VR. A camera that can't autofocus a 50mm prime is a write off in my books. Add to that a super primitive 3 point AF and no bracketting, no DOF preview, a 6MP sensor with tons of noise at ISO 800. Its the same story with the D60 as well. Its even worse than the D40 in the fact that its flash sync speed is a mere 100ms. Nikon gets seriously only from the D80 and beyond. Below it all its cameras are merely toys.

A200 is a nice camera but finding lenses for it is another story .
