hi all I am looking for a new camera for my father he has had a sony mavica for some years and is now verry dated I am trying to convice hime to start photografing for stock as he always seems to take awsome pics I was goint to sugest to him to buy a nikon D40x but thaught I woold check the views on the forum. good investment or could you sugest somthing beter in the same sort of price range.

P.S. I plan to borrow this camera frequently for my own stock use (at the moment he has my pentax in egypt so he can reciprocate when he upgrades).
