I find the auto focus is out sometimes. The biggest drawback is of course the film. I hate to not being able to view my shots immediately after taking the photo. My Nikon D40x is serving me well. Next stop would be to get a long range lens and/or a flashgun. I am no longer using the Nikon F-401x. I find the auto focus is out sometimes. The biggest drawback is of course the film.

I bought it ten years ago because it's the best value for your money at that time in choosing a traditional SLR. And I was not dissapointed. Nikon shoots quality pro pictures with the price of an amateur camera. It is really a terrific camera. I am still using it with my new Nikon D100. I also have a Nikon 401x.

Then the price range, the features, the lens, and I don't know what else. One thing is for sure, those need money. Unfortunately I don't have much of it. Hehehe. <strong>@mooiness</strong> I need no warning because the truth is, I WANT a DSLR! :D Hahaha. The major cons I'm frustrated with this SLR is the fact that "experimenting" will be very costly. Furthermore, the "result" of the photo can only be seen many hours (if lucky) later. So, do I need to send the camera for service (the inside of lens is a little dusty)? <strong>@lilian</strong> Wahhhh...so cheap? To think that I paid RM1,700 for my DMC-3 a few years ago. *sigh* They are getting cheaper and cheaper nowadays. I guess the "real money spending" comes AFTER we buy the DSLR (ie. to buy new upgrades like new lenses and other stuffs that I don't even know exist). *drooling* Yeah yeah, I want to write PPP also. I need manehhhh. I signed up with them already but don't know how to "describe my blog" to sound damn cun (even when it isn't). Maybe I should ask help from "someone"? ;-) @Az1

You may want to try that. For an extra RM700, you get a Nikon D40x. Hehehe, I have two DLSRs but the CF card slot for my Konica-Minolta kaput and will costs RM1K to repair. *roll eyes* Once you are into DSLR, there is no end. My lens costs RM2.6K and I am now eyeing another RM2.5K macro lens. That's why I have so many blogs, so many ads and so many paid posts. I have the Nikon D40 and it was less than RM2K now.

And it might just tempt you into buying a DSLR. Consider yourself warned. :D Once you’ve played with it, you’d love what it can do. And it might just tempt you into buying a DSLR.

I have the same desire like yours, to OWN a DLSR camera. I love taking photograph and right now I only take photos using my Olympus digicam and my 2MP SonyEricsson W850i.I aim to get the Nikon D40 as my entry level DSLR. :) At least the camera is a good start for something better, like the real DSLR cameras.
