You would like to thank them, but you can't. Every one of them has flaws, features that some people would like to see that aren't in them. You're just cherry picking the ones you want, to prove your point.
I would like to criticize your parents, for not practicing birth control more adequately.
Ahh more lack of real info...
True they all have flaws... but they support all of thier recent and current lense designs.. and they most of thier feature drops can be tracked to at least cost.. not so for auto bracketing.
Need I say more about the kind of person you are.... I think not.
Except since we are being told that the D40x and D80 share much of the same engine etc. it is just as likely that they spent money disabling it as it was already written for the D80.
Honestly I wouldn't recomend bracketing in most of those cases auto or otherwise. I mean you don't usually get 3 or five criticle moments in a row or get the flash to charge for each of 3 shots (sure some will do it but not all). Perhaps the auto bracketing allows you to attempt it, but you are wasting 2 of 3 or 4 of 5 shots. Not to mention being tied into a bracketing sequence when the sot you really want occurs?
you are assuming you only bracket low light static scenes...

Maybee it is easy, my point was that even easy costs more.
I can do all the bracketing I want without taking my eye from the view-finder. And in fact that's exactly what I do. But one thing I DON'T do, is take my eyes from the viewfinder to turn auto bracketing on, or turn it off.Not shooting a lot of dynamic scenes.. flowers, landscapes etc II shot film with a Minolta 212 for almost thirty years. Didn't pay
attention to the world of photographic magazines, just tried to
learn how to take the best pictures I could....
Never heard the word bracketing until I went digital and decided to
really get into this field.
But shockingly true as the above admission is, I had been braketing
all along. Yes, when I was in doubt I would manually change the
settings and take three or more images using different options.
By golly, I braketed with the best of them - And didn't even know
what I was doing...
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
And today, although my camera CAN do automatic bracketing, sorry to
say, but I still - STILL do this manually. Yes, horror of horrors I
shoot manual mode. Imagine that? $5000 dollar camera, and I shoot
manual.

take it.. people and animals tend to move while doing manual
bracketing.
And the last thing a bride wants to see is her photographer
changing settings every shot to make sure the dress is white.. not
a bit grey.
Yes exactly... Assume the camera is goiing to get it right and then see what the alternatives are.. and sometimes its not that the metering is off just that the treatment of exposure creates a different effect.

I don't either if its a situation like that..

only if I can sell it on Ebay to get me a nice Prime MacroMaybe Peter can correct me, but I thought he was referring to the
post by LPG.
But even IF I'm right, it's still possible for both you and I to
win this coveted title.
May I suggest that this honor, not only be bestowed on the winner,
but perhaps there should be a prize? Perhaps a spanking new Nikon
D40x?

If you recall, I originally stated that I did bracketing for years even before I heard the word.
My students love me and so do their parents. Your children won't need my help to teach them rudeness.
Hi Barry,
Funny thing is these consumers apparently don't think they are getting a poor deal.
