*New Title* I've Just got my first DSLR, the Nikon D40

sell the P&S. TBH the D40 is light and small enough to carry around so long as you think ahead that you might want to take pictures.

140 dollars for the 55-200 is a great deal. For the uses you mentioned a wide angle would be a more suitable choice, but there are no really cheap wide angles, and the 18mm on your 18-55 is good enough for most things.

Ya true.. the 18mm does pretty well so far.. So you think I should sell the junker and get the 55-200VR then huh.

Cool. ya thats what I think I was going to do anyways. the guy said to come over after work. but now is not answering. lol so not sure.

hopefully will still sale it.

Would it be worth it for me to buy a LCD Screen Protector, they are on ebay and I found one that has been laser cut to fit my actual Camera. and it's a non scratch back, and no residue. so I can remove it later if I wanted. I like the idea to protect the LCD from anything that might happen in the future, but then I think I'm just being to worried about my new "Toy" and that I will be careful anyways and don't need it. but hey, it's only $10 bucks. might as well.

has anyone bought, or used a LCD protector on there DSLR camera. and is it even worth getting? It's a little thick, I'm not sure I'd like the lip it would leave on the back instead of it being flat like it currently is. So I just thought I'd ask and see what others thought.

let me know.

Thanks!

I didnt bother with it on my D40x, but i was super careful with that thing. If you think you might bang it around, by all means get a protective cover.

On my D300 it has sapphire glass on the LCD, so I would be hard pressed to scratch it.
