Well me and my wife are finally going to get a DSLR. Ive been doing most of the research and this will be our first DSLR. We have both used P&S in the past. Ive never actually used one besides like playing with one of my friends but I never actually had time with one. Ive read nothing but good reviews on the Nikon D40. I went to best buy yesterday to play with it but I think since it was a display model it was messed up. All the pictures were fuzzy. Im going to go to Ritz Camera either tonite or tomorrow and hopefully they will have a nicer display. Im not looking to become a professional photographer but like good quality pictures from either, vacations that we take together, wedding (not taking for bride and groom just as a spectator) and we go to motorcycle stung shows on occasion. My old P&S never seems to capture a good image when a bike goes flying by on one wheel doing 45mph.
So, were pretty decided on the D40 but im not sure which package to get. At Ritz Camera they offer two different packages for the D40. Here are the links for them. Im not sure if we should spend the extra money and get the better lens or if the cheaper one would do what I need.
sorry for being so long just alittle unsure. TIA for the help :thumbup:
