It's exactly the info i'm looking for. I'm new to DSLR photography. In fact, so new, I don't own a DSLR yet. I'm waiting until after Christmas, when I'll probably pick up a D40x...or maybe a D80 (used) when the D300 is released. I'm torn between getting the standard kit lens (18x55), the upgraded kit lens (18x135), or no lens, and just buying a VR lens separately. Any advice would be most appreciated. Particularly your thoughts on what lens to buy for macro photography, which I really love and would like to do myself. I'm thinking I'll need at least two lenses (the kit lens perhaps, and a dedicated macro lens). I have the Nikon light ring (SB-29), so I"m ready to rock and roll once I get the camera and a macro lens. Last question: Should I skip the D40x and just go w/ a D40, and put the difference toward lenses? Thanks. Love the blog. It’s exactly the info i’m looking for. I’m new to DSLR photography.
