i always leave the camera with the power switch on when i have it with me as it doesnt consume power until you are shooting or using the lcd monitor.

don't know how easy it is to control, but a nice feature, nonetheless.lcd screen is huge, bright, and clear.

the viewfinder is bigger and brighter so that is even better than the d70 in some ways i feel that the d40 is an upgrade to not only the d50 that it is replacing but also the d70 series as well.
from www1.wolfcamera.com
everyone on the trip loved the ease of using it and the results we saw in the lcd screen.
from www1.wolfcamera.com
the size is great, the 2.5" lcd is beautiful, the cache allows the camera to shoot better than 2 frames / second even with a cheap (normal speed) sd card.
