Answer 1

It is a very good little camera, but it really depends on how you plan on using it.  The biggest down side is that it is not compatible with lens that don't have built in motors (AF-S if you looking at Nikon lens, HSM if your looking at Sigma).  If you wanting a camera for action shots this may not be the camera your looking for either since it only shoots at 2.5 frames per second.

This is a good camera but it is a little bit dated.I would look around and compare different camera reviews to determine what will best fit your needs.

I would pick any of Canon's Rebel series starting with the XT over the D40.Nikon's D80 is another great camera too but is Quite a bit more expensive.The Sony A-300 is a great value and the body itself provides IS so you don't have to drop a ton of money for IS lenses.

I think you could buy any SLR from Canon,Nikon,Sony or Olympus and be assured of having a fine camera.

If I were you I'd google camera reviews and check out the different offerings from these companies to find a camera that is suitable for your needs.

A great online retailer is B&H photo.I have used them several times and have been extremely happy with their service.They also are usually the lowest priced retailer too.Heres a link to their website.  http://www.bhphotovideo.com/
