The Lack of Auto Focus on most lenses is pissing me off on the D40

I was thinking of selling it and trying to find a second hand D70

It depends if you think you can make use of what extra it gives you really. Compare the 2 products side by side and look at the advantages.

The D70s would be a nicer option.

The only big advantage I can see is that most lenses will AF on the D70, but the JPEGs from the D70 will need more work than the ones from the D40.

For me personally I would never buy an older model, the D90 or D300 would be the only way to go.

Although if I was upgrading I would consider going full frame.

But thats not a cheap upgrade route
