do you think this camera ( Nikon d40) can take images as good of quality.. thanks and this is the exact on http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NIKON-D40-DIGITAL-SLR-CAMERA-18-55MM-KIT-D-40-DSLR_W0QQitemZ290401780367QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN?hash=item439d4b828f#ht_10416wt_1165
@Sophie: I think the Nikon D40 makes a good beginner camera, and megapixels really don’t matter unless you’re going to be making huge prints. Otherwise, it’s a good camera and doesn’t cost as much as other entry-level DSLRs.

If I were you a D40 wouldn’t be too great (considering it only has 6.1) megapixels. Try investing in a D3000 fom Nikon.
