1. The Nikon D40X. This camera is just Photo Studio in Chennai like second version for the original D40 of 6 mega pixels, but this one has a higher 10.2 MP CCD sensor. But of course this comes at a price, so the D40X will ask you for some more bucks which you could spend on lenses or other accessories, however, that's the payoff you need to accept for more mega pixels. The D40X has the exactly same 420 pixel sensor with 3D color Matrix Metering II that the D80 has, and also has the same processor like D200. If you decide to buy D40X, you have actually four options here: a. Buy only SLR digital camera.
2. Buy SLR camera and 18 mm - 55 mm lens c. Buy SLR camera with two lenses 18 mm - 55 mm and 55 mm - 200 mm d. Buy SLR digital camera and 18 mm - 135 mm lens. This one don't have "auto focus" feature, so in case you want this feature, the lenses could help you quite a good deal. Compared with other SLRs, this one is smaller, but the cost of producing a lightweight camera is that there's just one display for image playback and menu altogether. This could be OK for beginners, however, most professionals or even amateur photographers might want to have secondary display for status. This item is very good for impatient persons because it takes less than a half from a second to start up.
