I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it, hope my boyfriend don’t mind it!

I got a D40 last year, only a beginner!  There will always be arguments between Olympus fans and Nikon fans!

And Canon fans. The 400D is impressive.

Depending on how much you shoot and what you shoot you need a few lens, I shoot Canon but these same things apply to all SLR camera users. 
You need a good wide angle, something that you can get more depth with, I have an 16-35 that is super sharp, I beleive it is an f2.8, great fast lens for an all purpose day of shooting!  I also would suggest a fixed 85, usually much faster f1.8 is what I have and it gives great, super sharp, great DOF, and with people it gives a falt image, which is what studio shots need!  After that it depends on what you want to shoot, I dont use much zoom so the highest i have is a 35-125, somwehere around there, but that lens gets used the least of all the lens that I have.  I also suggest you go with the pro glass, much better, so much sharper, you will drop a goo bit on it, sometimes 2 or 3 times as much as the camera but it makes all the difference in the world!  Also if you are so inclined I love a good macro lens, it gives you a super fast lens for not too much money, usually pick up a good fast lens for around $500, and they are almost always super fast!

I had an Olympus E-400…Yep…until my daughter knocked it off the sea-wall, 30ft onto the rocks and sea below last summer…She also busted my Canon as well…

Oh well…

It’s back to the $40 Technika for me…

Nice, I like those man!!  You dont have to get an expensive camra to take great pictures, it is more in the eye!  The more features you have the greater your possibilities but I know people that drop a ton on cameras and take worse pictures that others who get disposable cameras!  I sent a PM to you with a link to my photos, take a look see what you think! 

That Fuji is a great camera, went on a trip through europe with a good friend and he shot with his fuji, came out with some amazing photos!  I had just gotten a 20D and was still learning all the functions on it so some of his came out better than mine!  You can also use filters with that camera if I am not mistaken!  Kick ass man you have to show what you shoot on it!
