Hello Rose
Very Happy to hear that you are keeping the D40. When i decided to switch over to digital camera i did a little research and then brought my EOS 5D in 2006. After that i just took the manual and read each and every feature and started taking photographs. I must have taken atleast a hundred pictures of the Ashtray on my coffee table.ie Same light source with different white balance settings, different ISO settings ,different apperture settings different Shutter speed settings and various combinations of the same. Further i experimented with the focussing modes Normal AF, Fixed Point Ie., one selected fixed point in the Focussing Matrix, AI Servo etc. Now when i am shooting a subject the calculations for the Camera settings is more of a reflex action than any effort. I am not perfect but i am very comfortable with my camera. Last but least I read detailed technical reviews on my camera to have knowledge about its performance. Initially this may look overwhelming but just jump into it and you will come out with success. Self learning is the best.

Only when you know what your camera cannot do will you know what you are capable of doing with that stupid instrument

hope this helps
