Nikon D40 http://www.europe-nikon.com/product/.../overview.html http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d40.htm http://www.cameras2u.com/products/de...ct=NIKD40B1855 Should I get a D40 or D50?
If you're shooting RAW (I would hope you are) that 3 pic buffer on the D50 is pretty limiting at times (the D40 has 9). Hell, even my old skool 10D can buffer 9...
You can also look into the pentax k100D and K110D. Smaller buffer also (though not as small as the d50 or 40 and with the k100 you get in camera shake reduction. Additionally, the K100 is compatible with any Pentax lens ever made...I will b e getting one next week...
Pretty much any kind of action would kill that tiny buffer with a quickness; motorsports, soccer, you name it..
