Asked about the Nikon D40 and lenses?
Okay, so I really want to get into more advanced photography, and I heard that the Nikon D40 would be a good place to start. Am I on track? I also think that individual lenses would be good additions, so could you give me tips on what different lenses perform, and what would be the best.
a Nikon D40 is a great place to start with DSLR-s that I would stay with Nikon or Canon I use a 18-55mm and 55-200mm with my Nikon. greater the larger number in the one on your topic if you want to go to a review cameralabs.com have 4 pages of opinion and even sample images taken with the camera
