I'm sure this has been asked many times, but I'm new to this board so please bear with me! I used to be quite the serious amateur with film photography. I had a Nikon6006, then moved up to an F100, both got stolen and I replaced them with an N70 (which I've been happy with because it's simple and lightweight, but produces great pics). I've got a couple Nikon AF lenses for it, but mainly stick to the 28-80 as I do a lot of urban photography and like the wide angles.
Anyway, I've been in grad school for many years and all my outside interests have gone by the wayside, including photography. But I am now finished and want to take up photography again. My goal is to do some photojournalistic projects and perhaps get them published or shown in a gallery. However, I'm really inexperienced with digital photography.
I am considering either the Nikon D40x or the D80. I will be doing a lot of traveling in Asia over the next year, so I want something that's relatively durable and not too heavy. I prefer an SLR because I'd like to use different lenses (including the ones I already have) and have more control over the images. I'm pretty convinced that digital is what I want at this point, since I already have a decent film SLR. Any suggestions about which Nikon I should get?
By the way, the D200 is way out of my budget.
