I just ordered a D50 yesterday and when I saw the D40 here on engadget, I thought for a second that maybe I'd made a mistake. But after looking at the review for the D40 on http://www.dpreview.com/articles/nikond40/ (thanks Glenn), it's obvious the D40 is a significant step DOWN from the D50 (which is logical, considering D40 < D50 < D70 < D80, etc). However, it's a good thing that there is a step down from the D50, because it will drive Canon to compete, thus driving down the prices of the overall DSLR market.
If you ask me, the D40 looks like it's still a better camera than the Canon 300D.
I love the fact that this Zune garbage is going to make a hilarious flop.
What I look forward to is a digital media player with a mini-drive that plays mp3 mpg and avi, has no regard for copyright protection, doesn't force its users to use some horrible interface, doesn't attempt to sell them music, and finally--doesn't make some horrible stab at being kitsch and hip and coining terms like "the Social".
The fact is, Microsoft is not cool. They are no longer innovative. They are beat and passe. With the new IE7 release, I was greeted by a screen that says "WE HEARD YOU" and it could have just as well said "WE ARE RIPPING OFF FIREFOX". That's great. Now looking at the Zune, it might as well say "WE ARE RIPPING OFF APPLE". When I look at Vista's features, I see "WE ARE RIPPING OFF LINUX AND OSX". Say something new, Microsoft. You're depressing.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
