**You can ignore this reply if you have decided not to purchase a Nikon. If there is still a chance you may get one then proceed with caution.
Just to confirm what some other people have said. Don't get the Nikon D40; I would do my best to save for the D80. I just bought a D40 this February and 4 months later I am looking to sell the D40 and get the D80. Don't get me wrong the D40 is a great camera but is a camera that you can quickly grow out of. I find myself going to the menu system to much, I would rather have a sub-command dial and some easy access buttons to change settings. Unfortunately I had to get the cheapest DSLR because my wife was not excited on how much I wanted to spend on a camera, but after she saw what a difference a DSLR can do, she is more supportive so next year when the big tax return comes in, I'm getting the D80. As for now I just go to B&H web site and stare at the picture and read the specifications over and over.
BTW I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but you should look at B&H web site for a camera they may be a little cheaper, plus as far as the D80 they have like 3 different kits you can buy. Hope this helps.
