Just about any digital camera on the market has the ability to take wonderful photos <i>under the right circumstances</i>. It's when we exceed the ability of our present camera on a frequent basis that we need more expensive equipment. Technical performance comes from the equipment. Photography comes from the photographer, and all the equipment at National Camera won't turn a beginner into an expert. That takes training and looking at lots of photos -- your own, and others, with a verrrry critical eye. Period.

Even though I am not a professional photographer, I just love my D40. And for the lion check out the 55-200mm VR lens! It's very light as well (plastic). I wholeheartedly agree.
