>>4216244Well I did some shooting with that lens on the D40X and it didn't die yet.
I have to admit, this is the first time I have used one of the smaller Nikon DSLRs and it's pretty handy. I have big hands and always assumed these would feel too small and toylike. I'm beginning to think Ken Rockwell was right about them.
It's also less noisy than I expected. I manually set the ISO to 1600, which I thought was pretty high for an old CCD sensor, and it's really not bad.
