Well what a joke that was. I gave my pitch to the guy in the shop and his first line of his reply was "its all down to the amount of pixels" :thumbsdown:
I am a total novice and I was explaining more about things than he was. He did not even know there was an 11 point focus on the D80 and he struggled to explain just about anything to me. This was a local camera shop and not a chain.
Gave me some literature to read and said I should compare the specs as that would help me out
They were selling the D40 for £399.99 when it can bought from at least 8 places online for £279.99... what a waste of time that was.
I did get to handle the D40/X/80 and Canon 400 and if I were totally honest I liked the feel of the D40/X over the others. So bearing that in mind I am inclined to buy the D60 and be done with. Only issue there is that model is not in the cashback and extended warranty offer.
