I really like the silver colour of the D40! However, from what i know most if not all of the lenses will be black - so might not fit the body? Any comments appreciated

lol! It's obviously a personal thing but I detest silver SLRs! It has to be black imo

I looked at silver and black. I preferred the black cos the silver looked tacky...:shrug: however...I didnt buy the D40 either....so thats another thing.
Most SLR's are black. If you want to be different go silver. Its personal choice at the en of the day.

The silver will probably show more scratches etc. than the black body

Back in the mists of time when I purchased a Nikon FM, I had to pay an extra £10 for a black one.

The lenses will still fit, regardless of whether you have a silver or black body. It's all down to personal preference, so get whatever you are happiest with.

bling bling dude..

oh god.....please buy a black one, you wont need to colour match eye shadow and nail varnish forever, Christmas is nearly over...

oh, yes ofcourse the black lenses will fit a silver body, and yes it will look terrible but not as terrible as a silver body with...silver lenses.......

Personal choice

I went for the silver D40 to be different, although I think the black one looks more "sophisticated"

If its not black its not a proper camera

Black ones tend to have a higher second hand value to them. Personally, I'd only ever get a black Nikon DSLR.

Make sure the lens hood is black as well.......:boxer:
