I created a thread a couple weeks ago regarding the decision between the d40x and d80. After talking to photographers I know and weighing future features I may want, the d40x is now out of the picture.
I went to Best Buy yesterday and played with the 40d and it's awesome. It's priced at $1499 and the d80 $1299. I guess the 40d is more in the class of the d200 (price and features). As of right now, there are only a few "hands-on" reviews available for the 40d so I can't make a decision yet. I'm waiting for reviews from dcresource.com and dprevew.com.
Is the Canon 40d worth the extra $200? I'm a beginner but want to learn. The body has to be able to grow with my skill sets. The plan is to keep the body for a long long time. The professional dslr's are out of my league. Career - advertising so I want to shoot products and models (in the future). Yes, I'm considering lens.
Having a difficult time deciding. The decision may be obvious to you so be easy on me. Thanks in advance again
