Nikkon D40X or Nikkon D80?
I noticed the d40x only accepts lenses with the autofocus motor in the lense while the D80 accepts standard lenses. So what I guess I’m asking….Wil the cost of the lenses for the d40 make it more money spent than the d80 in the long run after buying a macro lense and such? I ve had trouble finding lower cost lenses for the d40x……I’d love some good opinions. Ritzcamera.com has a cool package for the d40x im considering…..so let me know what ya think. http://www.ritzcamera.com/product/SLR1161.htm
If it were me, I’d get the D80. That’s because some of the best Nikon lenses, the 35mm f/2.0, the 50mm f/1.8 and f/1.4, the 85mm f/1.8 and f/1.8, and the Tamron 90mm f/2.8 don’t have motors in them and so, won’t AF with the D40x. They will meter and manually focus, but I like having AF. That makes the D80 the better choice IMHO.
Another option: a used D50, the precursor to the D40/D40x, which is 6mp, but will work with the regular AF lenses as well as the AF-S lenses.
