    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...

    I fall in love
     
    Well, this is the point:

    This is a great camera because is small, simple and you can do anything with this. Maybe this is not a great review, but if you are looking for a camera ready to use and get great picts, this is the right camera.

    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...

    If only it had flash exposure lock...
     
    An excellent camera. The small size and weight make it easy to take with you. Even though it is small, I found the grip to be comfortable. Good performance, and at an excellent price point. Flash sync of 1/500th makes life easier on your flash when doing fill-flash on a sunny day.

    The only reason it doesn't get five stars is the lack of flash exposure lock. This is where you can fire the preflash and lock the exposure values, so when you press the shutter it doesn't have to preflash...

    A Backpackers dream
     
    Back in the day I used to pack a 4x5 view camera out into the woods. Now my 57 year old back says whoa! Are you nuts?
    A D40 with the kit lens and say a 10-20 Sigma is a knockout combination for someone more photographer than pack mule.
    6.1 megapixels is plenty to do flawless 13x19 prints and if you don't need bracketing or wireless flash then why pay for them?
    This is a great dual purpose camera. A lot of pros will be taking these on vacation and hanging on to them as backup...
