More than enough camera for most people. I gave the D40 5 stars for solid build quality, outstanding images and bargin price tag.

In the dim and distant past I owned a number of film SLRs, but for the past 5 or 6 years I've only used point and shoot digital cameras. Lately, the shutter lag in these cameras became increasingly annoying, and the slow startup resulted in missing some priceless moments. A new, point 'n shoot would have been faster, but given the drop in price, a digital SLR was a much bette...

100% (25 of 25) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Great first SLR, with a couple of lessons learned Thanks to all of the earlier reviewers who guided me to this camera as my first SLR camera !!! I received the camera with the standard 18-55 lense, and also purchased the 55-200 lense, less than a week in advance of one of those once-in-a-lifetime vacations -- 10 days in Peru.
The camera and its controls are very intuitive. The camera with the standard lense is very easy to handle. I took about 800 photos in 10 days (with just one battery re-charge !!). The quality of the phot...

100% (21 of 21) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | 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 ...

100% (15 of 15) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | What it does This won't be a list of all the technical statistics as many reviewers have done this very well already. Instead, let's concentrate on how it actually works.
First, I wanted a DSLR because they are easier for me to use than point and shoots and of course there are choices with lenses, flashes, etc. I chose Nikon because I have had good luck durability-wise with that brand and Nikon is obviously a premier company. I also have a couple of interesting old Nikon lenses that are usable. ...

100% (14 of 14) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Amazing camera I have had two digital point and shoot cameras and a 1980's 35mm SLR with four lenses. I am thrilled with the picture quality of my D40. This camera is small, lightweight, and very comfortable in my hand. I do have somewhat small hands, which are well suited to the D40. The construction quality is first rate. The menu is fairly intuitive and can be learned in a relatively short time. I read several reviews before purchasing this camera and have to say that they were dead on.

100% (11 of 11) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Nikon D40 with Kit Lens - an excellent value As a retired professional photographer who also has considerable experience with various digital cameras, I was somewhat reluctant to purchase a digital SLR that was meant to be used by 'First Time Digital SLR Users'. While it certainly can be easily used by novices in automatic mode, I soon realized that the camera has almost all the capabilities of higher-end Nikons, such as the D50, D70 and D80, but in a smaller and lighter version and even with some features the more expensive cameras are la...

100% (11 of 11) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | I researched the Heck out of this and made the right choice I'll make this short: Awesome camera, worth every penny. I absolutely adore it.
This camera is like 200 bucks cheaper than it's younger cousin, the D40X. What does the X stand for? Ten, as in megapixels, as opposed to the six mp this model has. People think the more megapixels the better- but unless you want to blow up your photos into posters, you don't need them. There's no discernable difference between six and ten megapixels if you are enlarging a shot to 8x10. In fact, I ...

100% (10 of 10) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Great camera and very portable I bought this camera for my recent trip to Australia and toted it from the Sidney opera house to Uluru and Kata Tjuta to the Cairns tropics. It's such a small, light DSLR that I carried it everywhere, usually leaving my camera bag and accessories at the hotel and just taking the camera body, the 18-55 kit lens, a circular polarizing filter and a walking stick / monopod (Trekpod). Photo quality was uniformly exceptional and controls easy to use. I left the camera in continuous mode and when there...

100% (10 of 10) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Don't get a D50 or D80 over a D40 Don't follow the advice in some of these reviews that you have to get a Nikon D50 or D80 instead of the wonderful Nikon D40 (which I've had for almost a year and taken thousands of pix on):
The D40 is barely half the price of a D80 and has better controls, is lighter/smaller, and takes photos the equal of any you can get on the D80.
The D50 is virtually off the market and has nothing substantial that the D40 hasn't (except the ability to use autofocus with AF/non-AF-S older lenses). ...

Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: This is a great camera and a huge step up from point and shoot. If you think your point and shoot pics are good and want to move to the next level but don't want to spend over $1K, this is a great camera to start with. Big plus is its light weight and smaller size than some of the pro DSLR's. Thus it's not bulky. It takes great pics, especially landscape, and as one reviewer said, I still don...
