Hello all, I have a small dilemma and as I know it is ultimately my decision I thought I would bring it to all of you to see what you thought.
About 3 months ago I bought a D40 with the 2 kit lenses, I have really enjoyed the D40 and still like it very much, however I somehow got it in my head I needed a D300. So last Sunday I went and bought a D300 with the 18-200 lens - There was a 300.00 price drop on the camera and lens if purchased together. I brought it home and then thought why did I just do this? I took a few shots nothing crazy and then repacked it backup with the intent on returning it.
I am by no means professional nor would I consider my self even a good amateur. I love taking pictures and would like for it to turn either into a full time job or at least a part time thing eventually. I do not shoot on Auto with the D40 anymore I keep trying to experiment all the time so I thought the D300 was a good choice of upgrade.
Do you think I jumped too quickly for the upgrade? Should I just stick with the D40 and get to be as good as I can with that first? Like I said I know it is ultimately my decision but I just thought I would get some advice from all of you.
Here are a few of my shots, nothing spectacular but just to give you an idea.

I appreciate any and all comments and opinions.
