[quote vision63]volcs0 and I have a very similar experience. Including the get the friend the D40. I love my D80 (and it's 18-135) but her d40 (standard kit) is an AWESOME camera. No camera out today captures images better. It's a responsive camera that you take everywhere because it's so unobtrusive. Yet, if you hold it in your hand, the grip and where your fingers fall makes it seem to be an extension of your body. I still have and use the D70 volcs0.
emphasis added. Now, do you really believe that? do you know there are other brands out there, i.e. Pentax, Olympus, Minolta (Sony), and other formats, i.e. medium format, have you ever heard of Mamiya, etc. ?
if you said "no other camera out today within $X and $Y", then I might believe that.
