I am thinking of selling my D40 in between RM1,000 and RM1,500. That is between half and 3\/4 of the price I bought it for. Along with it are the charger, the CD, the manual and the kit len. If you are lucky, I might throw in a tripod for you too.<\/p>\n<p>So, anybody want to buy my D40?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have not been posting pictures for a very long time.
