ive just got a d40 and i think the trick with manual focus is to keep both eyes open so you can match the focus with your free eye and the viewfinder..if that makes sense

You need a camera with interchangeable focus screens if your gonna get serious about manual focussing. That said, I dont know any dSLRs that offer this. I use many different types of focus screens with my Mamiya 645 because each offers different benifits, some are good for architectural photography, some are good for low light by having a clear focussing screen without the split-focussing centre. That said, the Mamiya 645 is notoriously difficult for manual focus but mine offers no automatic focussing options.
