Picked up a D40 off of amazon last tuesday. It was an update over a 6 yr old Canon.
Definately user friendly for a DSLR, and a nicely balanced package. For $480 with lens kit, its a super deal for an “entry” level dslr.
If you are going to be doing serious work (selling, showing, or anything more then showing the kids 20 yrs from now), then spend a few more bucks and pickup the 200.
