People who are shooting with a Nikon D40 with a Nikkor16-85 & 70-300, happy with this set up but they thinking of upgrading with a limited budget. Right now they are not sure whether it makes more sense to get a better camera, probably the new Nikon D7000 or a better lens, probably the Nikon 70-200 (a real stretch). Nikon D40 owners pretty happy with the D40, really wanting only for higher ISO. Both lenses are pretty good, they try to use them in their sweet spot as much as possible. The combination of smaller aperture (sweet spots) and lower ISO does cost some shots. They mostly enjoy wildlife and nature shots with some landscape, and of course the family/holiday/event photography.
