Thanks Aleyssa. Noise is my major problem with the D40. Low light capability be important. I can't really go higher than ISO 400 with the D40. I like to crop and the low pixel count really limits that. As far as autofocus, nothing will autofocus with my old film-era lenses. If I do upgrade it will be in a 400-500 dollar price range. Actually I am reasonably happy with the D40 and I am debating using the credit card against once my computer is paid off.
