Hello all.
I've got a Canon Powershot S3 IS currently. I'm looking into getting into the digital SLR world. Photography is really just a hobby of mine. Basically wondering about the goods/bads of the Nikon D40. Found a deal online where I could get the body, 18-55mm lens, and 55-200mm lens for $600. Is this a good deal? Anyone know a better deal or where I should be looking? I found this at bhphotovideo.com. I also saw something on these forums that said this camera does not have "live shot" or something. What exactly does this mean. Any info anyone could provide on this camera would be great. Also looking for basic knowledge of SLR's - what makes them better than my current Canon - etc. I know i'm asking for a lot so thanks in advance.
