hey.. I somehow think we don't need e-book on D40/x.. honestly. Maybe D80 and aboe, yes.. but D40 functions pretty limited and easy don't ya think? ;p

 

[czeno]

Anyone using an ultra wide angle on a D40? for e.g sigma 10-20mm lens.. or tokina 12-24 mm...? if so anyone have any experience using polarizers with ur lens?

There's a battery grip for D40(x)???

 

[psychobiologist]

there are third party ones but that defeats the purpose of the d40 being a compact slr?

 

[lloyds]

but with battery grip, can have a better grip. (maybe my hand is too big). plan to buy it soon but still not available in singapore either malaysia.

there is another brand of battery grip come with vertical shutter. just found out yesterday. the vertical shutter/battery grip is quite big, not suitable for them who buy d40/x as a backup or compact cam. but for me.. i only have this only 1 dslr. hehe.. so gonna get 1 very soon.

I am tempted to upgrade to D300! :lovegrin:

Same here but money is my main factor.

 

[geraldkhoo]

Same same... the value of a new technology would last longer than an older technology.

In this modern technological world, mobile phones, laptops, and any electronic stuff, have a life span of 3-5 years... so... it does make sense to get new technology, but the price would be a big consideration... a whopping $2700!

 

[chanjyj]

If it were me I'd get a D200 if the price drops, rather than a D300.

Honestly, I do not see a need for a D300, because I can live with a 2.5'' (Althought the higher res 3" screen would be nice) screen, lower FPS, and less MP (10mp is more than enough for me currently, and D2x fills in the 2mp gap if for any strange reason it is needed).

The 51pt autofocus is somthing I have not looked at in detail though.

Tend to agree with you, true. For those who needs some guidance (like me), this site has a mish-mash of reviews and photog tips.

Whoa... match this with a 18-200mm and you have a D40 on steroids!
