It's fun too I've been using a p&s camera (Fujifilm 2500 2.0MP thing) and it takes surprisingly pretty good shots (Macro, mainly).
But I'm sick and tired of P&S crap.. lol It's boring..
Like this one:

I had to adjust some coloring/contrast a lil but it still looks pretty decent..

Good choice to get into the dslr world

Take your time in learning how to use it, it's worth it

So I think I'm going to go with the D40x. Now I just need the money.. lol :|
