camera buffs.Which one?

@Paulo

the image stabilization is in the lens, not the camera body. Neither of the stock lenses that come with those cameras have stabilization IIRC. And i’m guessing the package deal you see with the 55-200mm lens isn’t a VR either. (and zoom lenses are where you want it)

I would suggest, getting the d40, with those lenses, and then selling the body down the road to upgrade it. You have to remember, DSLR’s hold value much better than point and shoots. They are quality pieces of equipment. And like I said before, long term, you are going to want nikon.

EDIT - that 55-200mm lens is a VR lens, buy the d40 or i’m gonna cunt punt you.

If it is the Amazon deal it is a VR lenses. That is what I got and with shipping was 597.
