Well I gave in and bought a Nikon D40X. I'll use the cheapie lens it comes with for now, if I decide I need more serious glass I'll do that next year. I'll have Hawaii pics up the first week of October.

On a technical point :-)

... die-hard Nikon owners may be disappointed with the lack of a focus motor in the body, meaning that many non-AF-S/AF-I lenses will not auto focus (including some Nikon's best prime lenses).

But perhaps you don't use autofocus.

I hope you take lots of interesting photos with it and that we'll be able enjoy some of them.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

Yep, I was aware of that. Should be fine.
