Yo, Seriously just either a: get the cheapest new camera the D40 and learn with that or b: get one of the better ones used... It makes no sense to dropthousands on something that whether or not you plan to take seriously you know very little. For starters D40 isn't an unpowerful camera... Clearly theothers are better but you won't know much of the difference out the gate. Secondly if you do get really into photography there is a huge used market forany type of camera so you can just sell the D40 and upgrade. Third the lenses over time will be the most expensive part anyway and they'll all be the samefor all those cameras. Once you pick a brand stick with it but its all the same lens mount within a brand. Fourth I take it you don't know a whole lotabout photograph or cameras so learning on simpler camera will be quite helpful. Most people learn on film because the easy of 35mm b/w film and it alltranslates if you can shoot film and everything for it, then you can do digital just as easy because with film scanning you do alot of the stuff anyways. Thereverse doesnt always translate as well. You hand some of these joke commercial photographers a film camera and they're even more useless than they werebefore...
