Pros: Small, light weight, beautifully realized images. Price Point.

Bottom Line: For the absolute beginner or someone who wants more features than those in a point and shoot.
Review: The Nikon D40 with 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 AF-S AF lens is this company's bare bones entry level offering in the extremely volatile digital SLR market. As the two giants of the industry, Canon and Nikon vie for an ever increasing slice of the dSLR pie, Nikon... (more)

Bottom Line: This Nikon is important to anyone looking for a great starter/basic DSLR. Canon's Xt has now got some great competition, and that makes it better for everyone.
Review: Firstly this is the camera replacement for the venerable D50. Primed before release to be called the "D60" Nikon decided instead on the "D40" name. Accordingly announced on November16,2006, it steps up to the plate to go squarely against the Canon... (more)

Pros: Light. Quick. Inexpensive. Quality and quantity that won't break the bank.
Cons: Light. No top LCD. Small frame. Almost obsolete thanks to D40x.
Reviews By
Bottom Line: If you don't already have a dSLR, buy this camera. Body and lens for under $600.
Review: I've been shooting with my D40 for about a month now and I have to say I'm not as disappointed as I thought I'd be. Sounds weird saying it like that, but I was planning on getting the D80. When I settled for the D40 I was afraid I'd be settling too... (more)

Review: I love photography and certainly could be called a 'weekend amateur photographer. I've never taken any classes, but have read some books. I wanted a digital camera that was budget conscious, but not short on features. I chose the Nikon D40. Nikon... (more)

Review: I'm not got to babble a lot of BS...but I've been shooting since I was a punk kid with a Kodak Brownie. And in the end, the only thing that matters is results. The D40 gives them. For the price (and they're getting cheaper), it's an excellent bargain... (more)
