I really appriciate divdude for giving such a helpful comments regarding the lense. Actually I am concentrating more on Nikon D40 with 18-55mm f/3.5 - f/5.6 ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor lens .

Is it a wise decession to pick Nikon D40 to start up with?? Do you think that i would be able to take great pictures through this camera as my hands are not that steady as a pros.??
