we can see wulf still uses his D40 and he takes awesome pictures with it.. 
i started with the S5, because i didnt know then what direction i'd go regarding photography. so i stayed on the safe side.
but hey, just like you, this is the general thinking i grew up with..and it works for me just as yours works for you.
hope we didnt confuse the inquirer.. hehe

In all due respect Mike, I'm not saying the D40 does not take good photos, that's not the question. After all, it's the photographer, and not the camera that takes good photographs. What I am saying is if you can afford an upgraded model, one that's in your budget range, it should be considered. You have to look past the fact that they all are capable of taking good photos, but look at features of the each camera...those that might be less obvious. Examples would be, but not limited to, include things like faster burst frame rate, larger internal buffer, internal electronics upgrades (as in Canon's Digiac III to the latest Digiac IV), better noise handling, etc. A novice may not look for these things when making a purchasing decision, but may regret not having some of these capabilities as he/she advances with their skill and equipment. Believe me, it's not my intent to confuse the inquirer..I just want to help him make the right decision.
