Yep, D40. Normally I only play with the manual settings for night shooting or landscapes where I have all kinds of time to adjust everything. For the ducks I was just using the “Sports/Action” setting, as well as the setting with the picture of a kid. Quite a testiment to the D40 actually. I’ll be playing with it more because I want to get better at playing with depth of field to keep the main subject in focus while bluring the background. ---

D40 is def a good camera. I love my 40x. When you want to lower the Depth of focus, take the aperture way down. You won’t get too much of that affect out of the 55-200, but it can still do something. Might want to consider a lens with f-stops like 1.8 or 2.8 lens. I love my 2.8. ---
