First SLR camera, Nikon D40X ??

[john185k]

Would this be a suitable upgrade from my Finepix S6500 D?

[GetCarter]

yep



Nikon or Canon is the way to go. (IMHO)

Be aware though the d40(x) cant AF witha lot of nikon lenses. expensife prosumer ones (AF-S) and the pro glass is OK, but a lot of cheap zooms, primes and 3rd party lenses aer MF only.
