i dont mean to be funny but what i speacial about those shots?
My 400d can produce that easily.
you do need to have a bit of a clue with how to work the thing but once you star getting out there it becomes easier.

all i want to know could i achieve those pics with a nikon d40 without to much editing?
if not then obviously il have to save up more cash and get another camera..
i havnt got a clue about slr cameras etc so i just want to know before i spend nearly £300..

There is nothing technically difficult about those pictures....
All will have had editing in photoshop/simmilar to tweak them to get the effects.
You could get those results with a point and shoot tbh
