[Scottie]

I Saw D40 D60 A200 A300 I\m looking for a better cam then our point and shoot what one would you get out of these and why?

D40 sounds really good to me but I know nothing about them thanks for your help.

What is the maximum you are willing to spend?

[longo]

first, it's "which" not "witch"

Go with a D40.

Maybe $500

[Kasakato]

Maybe $500

D40 with 18-55, plus a SB400 if possible.

A200 is a better value. You get more for less.

A200 is $|50 cheaper then the D40 where I can get them from blacks A200 is $399 and D40 is $449 should I stil go with the D40 how do these 2 campare I like how the D40 says its fast startup and taking pictures.

I don't get it, so your saying the A200 takes better pictures?

No. I'm saying the D40 (6mp) is at least 2 years old. A200 (10mp) is less than a few months old.

Enjoy your choice

Megapixels hardly mean anything in the 'grand' scheme of things.

Oh I know. My main point was just the difference in age b/t the two cameras.

I just thought I would throw in the "megapixels" in there while I was at it

[Scottie]

anyone else have anything to add I think I Might be able to get a D40 for the same price as the A200 maybe maybe not but I think it is like $40 more then the A200.

Why don't consider Canon XS with 2 lenses for $499 at Dell? A good upgrade from P&S for around $500.

I think the main question is, are you willing to spend a few more hundreds to upgrade your lens. That can easily run you into the thousands very quickly for just 2 or 3 lenses.

If you aren't planning to buy more lenses, I think you should buy a Canon G10 or a Panasonic DMC-LX3 or something along those lines.

I think you will be very disappointed with how limited you will be with your 18-55mm kit lens, in terms of how much zoom you are getting.

Only go into DSLR if you are gonna buy more lenses. Always invest in the lens, not the body as the lenses will far out last the body.
