Alright, So I'm going to be purchasing a refurbished Nikon D40 within the month. I chose Nikon as a have a few friends with them, one being a photographer, and they swear by them. I've used his d60 and d80 and have loved both of them.
Being as this camera will be for recreational use; vacations, car shows I attend, family,etc, I don't want to spend the prices on the d60/80 so I've chosen the d40. Seems like a very well put together entry level SLR.
Now my question for you guys is:
>Should I get the complete camera and spend the money for the body plus the lens nikon supplies?
>Or Should I just purchase the body and get a nice all around lens (aftermarket)
And if you guys think I should just purchase the body and lens separate, what is a good all around lens for an entry level guy like myself? I want to keep the cost down as I'm no photographer and don't plan on becoming one, beyond taking nice pictures for myself.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
