I might consider it as a great travel alternative to my larger D90 and my lenses will still work with it too I believe.




True for most lens, but not all. AF and AF-D lens will not autofocus on the D40 series. Adorama used to have some killer deals on refurbished D50 bodies. At the time, that was my main camera. I was going to buy a second body but the D90 came out and I had to have it.

Here is a chart from www.kenrockwell.com that I refer to for lens compatibility.
