nikon future releases

how hard is it to manual focus??

I’m interested in buying the Nikon D40, the only thing that makes me hesitant in getting it is the fact that i heard that some of the nikon lens do not allow you to autofocus with the camera (such as the 50mm f1.8 lens) which i’m interesting in getting.. My question is, for someone only beginning to use dSLR and know practically nothing about manual settings, how hard is it to learn how to manual focus with the Nikon D 40, do i need to have several years of photography experience in order to get sharp pictures with manual focus? And does anyone if Nikon are planning on releasing a newer and better replacement for the D40 in the near future (next 6 months?)

There is nothing difficult about Manual focus even if the camera does not allow auto-focus and then why would you purchase a lens for it that wasn’t fully compatible anyway.
The camera will indicate focus within the viewfinder you will also be able to see through the viewfinder what is clear and in focus and what is not.
good Luck
