Simply the best
Nikon has hit a grand slam with this camera. It's as close to perfection as any digital camera has ever come. Sure, there are "better" cameras for more money, but they are all twice the size/weight. I would get this camera even if I had an unlimited amount of money to spend. There is simply nothing like it. Lots of ingenius user interface elements, superb feel/handling, superb flash (both internal and external SB-400), outstanding image quality, instant response, superb viewfinder, superb LCD......

The DSLR you have been waiting for to move up from P&S
The D40, quite simply, is the camera I have been waiting for. I was into 35 mm SLR photography 20+ years ago. I got back into photography with the new digitals but held off on digital SLRs because they were expensive, but more importantly, so large. Not so the D40 on either count.
I compared the D40 side by side with the Canon Rebel XTi (EOS 400D in Europe) at a photo store. The XTi was slightly bigger. The XTi beat the D40 in features (it had more pixels, and more features...

A Keeper
I go through lots of cameras. This was my third DSLR, and about 15th to 20th digital camera. THe D40 takes superb pictures. Don't let the reviewers mislead you into thinking this is just for newbies. It works great for newbies, and for serious advanced photo-enthusiasts. I fall in the latter category and like the camera for the following reasons:
1. Size and weight - easy to travel with.
2. Great image quality right out of the camera. It's nice to enhance photos in soft...

A real winner and a wonderful introductory digital SLR
Good job, Nikon! The D40 is an ideal entry level DSLR. It is aimed at persons who want better quality images than a point-and-shoot pocket camera can deliver, who are willing to put up with the somewhat extra bulk of a true SLR, but who do not want to spend a lot more money. The D40 is an outrageous bargain at its price point. Only a tad bit more money than the high-end point-and-shoots, the D40 will produce better images with the kit lens, and more importantly, enables the user to expand th...

A Trusty Companion
I have now owned the Nikon D40 for almost a year, and I feel that I now have a strong enough opinion on this camera to write a meaningful review.
The D40 was my first digital SLR. Going back about a year, around this time in 2007, I was busy doing a lot of research on whether I should buy the Canon digital rebel XT, or the Nikon D40 (both of which are entry-level SLRs from the two leading camera manufacturers). I am glad now that I chose the D40. When it came down to it, both the D40 ...

A fantastic camera at a price no one can come close to!
I did a lot of research for some time before I picked this one. (I looked into a DSLR camera for a full year.) I knew going into this that there were several "down" sides to the D40. I know about the limited choice of lenses. I know that I can't have a bunch of flashes set up like a studio. I know that it is small. But those were not downs for me at all. First of all, I was moving up from a point and shoot. I have never owned an SLR camera before. I have no old lenses to worry about. In fact, wh...

D40 Perfect for the Amateur Looking to Move Up from non-SLR Digitals
I've had a couple of Sony digital cameras, and I've always said nice things about them to friends and family. The small digitals are convenient to take most anywhere, and my most recent Sony is truly pocket sized. But I was often disappointed with the picture. And frankly, the Sony's (videocams and digital cameras) often broke well before I would have expected.
So, I bought the D40 because of the Nikon name and the relatively good reviews that Amazon and other sites publish. I re...

Nikon D40
I did quite a bit of photography back when I was younger, then it just got to be a pain to have the film developed. I put all my old Nikon equipment away for many years. Now it became apparent that I needed to be taking pictures of the grandkids, so I sold all of my film Nikons and bought this D40. Wow, I must admit that I am overwhelmed by what this camera will do. It's very easy to "point and shoot", but that's not the reason I bought it. I want to be creative with my equipment and this camera...

Perfect first digital SLR
When I bought this camera, I had pretty high expectations. This is not my first SLR; I started with a Minolta X370 in the 80's, then got a Minolta X700, then a Maxxum 7000. I still have all these film SLR's. My first digital camera was a Minolta Dimage Z1, a point-and-shoot that tried to look like an SLR. Then, Minolta got bought out and no longer makes cameras. So, I decided to step up to Nikon. Since I already had a lot of experience in cameras, I expected a lot, and this camera has surpassed ...

D40 vs Canon Digital Rebel XTi
My wife keeps complaining the poor indoor picture quality of our Canon SD200 and SD600 - BTW these are great cameras but our subjects (3 kids here) keep moving around so it's quite challenging to get a good indoor pictures. I tried a Canon S3 IS and I love the 12x zoom lens (SD200 and 600 are only 3x). However the lens is as slow as SD200/600 even the high ISO performance is a *little* better. Another thing is the color tune of that particular S3 IS is way too cold.
