D40 vs. D50 [Page 1]
In my book, D50 is a better choice as it is more versatile as far as lens' selection and better camera controls.... BUT I will say, the picture quality of the D40 is excellent, but then again, the D50 is awesome too....

D40 vs D50 [Page 1]
I would choose D50 even if it costs $200 more.... Well, I guess when they do, then that shows that they are probably better suited to the D50....

Nikon Forum: D40 VS D50
Or they might notice that the D40 is a quarter pound lighter than the D50, and is smaller/more compact.... I'm sure there will be people who will choose the D40 over the D50....

D40 kit vs D50+18-70 plz help [Page 4]
In the spirit of Occam’s Razor one should embrace the less complicated formulation or simply put, less is more.... Also, if avoiding PP is your goal, the extra zoom range provides better framing flexibility and less need for cropping....
