Hi i would like to introduce myself.. i am interested in taking better pics and i plan on buying a Nikon D40 next week and will need some tips on learning about the DSL camera.. i have presently been using a canon A5 IS powershot.. but i am ready to move up but yet not ready for a expensive cameras until i learn more.. So i am ready to trade this one in for an upgrade and maybe next year do the same.. depending on how i progress..lol.. love taking fish pics .. i have plenty of tanks to practice so this looks like a great place to learn..looking forward to seeing all your beautiful pics too..
