p.2 #1 · D40 for Beginner?

I bought a d40 off Craigslist for 120$ recently. It was like new. Great camera and if you like using off camera flash for sports like shooting skateboarding it has a 1/500 flash sync. Works great with a 8mm Rokinon.

Trust me 1/500 is pretty nice. Also it's a great file size if you want to keep post simple on like an iPad or even iPhone. Images are still very clean.

The major downside is its terrible low light.

That was my fault. I apologize - I didn't notice the date when I posted.
I will be more careful in the future.

Old thread or not, the D40 is just about the best beginner DSLR ever made. I've got one that I rarely use, but am thinking about getting it out of the closet.
