yea my d40 was like mid $400 range, the wife got me it for christmas so cant say exactly but i've taken at least 4 to 5k pics with it and it still works awesome. the lenses get very expensive on both canon and nikon but i've found that all you really need is the 18-55mm and the 55-200mm . they will shoot just about everything you need. i've used both canon and nikon and i personally am more comfortable with nikon. hope i helped in any way
