If you're shooting at 1.8@3200 ISO and still have trouble getting a sharp shot, you really just do not have enough light. As disanski says, 1/60th ideally is as low as you want to go shutter speed wise, tho i'm pretty comfortable taking shots at 1/30th if its a relative still subject or even as low as 1/15th if i've got…

It also focuses to 1:2.7 macro, so you can focus just a few inches from the front of the glass. Its pretty sharp at 1.8 too but really sharp at 2.8. I think its got 9 blades, rounded…
A D40x would probably be fine. One thing to keep in mind about resolution, is more is not always better. A good expamle is the Canon 20D(someone asked about this earlier) with the 40D and 50D, they pack more, smaller pixels into the sensor to get more megapixels, when they do this, its going to give you more noise and thus…
