PaulStamatiou.com just reported on Nikons release of the D40. I am somewhat of a photography enthusiast and my biggest problem at the moment is the cost of DSLR cameras. Here in S.A. the pricing starts close to R8000 (roughly $1000). These things aren't cheap. Nothing is cheap in S.A. anymore?This little beauty seems to be taking those theories down. It peaks at just over R4500 and is a 6.1-effective mega pixel digital SLR. It is being heralded as the smallest and most affordable DSLR to date.
