Pros very user friendly, has all the regular features of SLRs, takes clear and quality photos
Cons LCD gets marks from the nose very easily
Recommended it? Yes

The Nikon D40 is not a heavy, bulky and complicated SLR to use. As an amateur, I wanted something that will introduce me to the world of photography without the complications, but with the great SLR features.

It takes great photos (6.1 Megapixel) with its preprogrammed settings and allows... Read full review »

Nikon's low-end too low

17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small, great image quality as always
Cons Too small, uses small selection of lenses, no LCD on top, dark finder vs. D80.
Recommended it? No

Before anyone has a cow and ships it to me with a case of stale buns....YES, I have handled the D40. It was at a trade show and I got to play with the camera for a bit. I even got to shoot a few shots and slap a better lens on it.
Now let's get right to it: I DON'T LIKE THIS CAMERA BUT It's... Read full review »

I'm in love...with this camera!  This is my first SLR camera.  We have young kids (ages two and three) who rarely stand still long enough for a picture or smile long enough for me to catch the smile with my point and shoot camera.  This camera has more than solved that issue!  It even has the...

Well were should I start, this camera is good really good, usable prints straight from the camera right up to iso 1600, possibly better than some 8meg cams and pushes the 10 meg too. Less can mean more and does here by my experience.
The body is quite small but has good handling, I have large... Read full review »

Pros Lightweight, excellent pictures, fast shutter, not complicated, very detailed photos
Cons zoom lens only goes to 55mm Wish grip was a bit larger
Recommended it? Yes

Just purchased the Nikon D40. I had a Pentax SLR for a long time and just got tired of lugging all the lenses with me and it just got to be more of a hassle than fun. Now, with 2 kids I did not have the time or space to take it with me. We used a Kodak point and shoot for 4 years.
I really... Read full review »

Pros Easy to Use, Excellent Picture Quality, Great Design
Cons Overpriced
Recommended it? Yes

The prices here are really overpriced, but this is a great camra.  Easy to use whereve you are.  The body only option is great when you like to shoot with a fixed lens like I do, or if you are buying this as a back up camera and already own lenses that will work with it. Read full review »

Pros Easy to Use, Excellent Picture Quality, Great Design
Cons None submitted
Recommended it? Yes

I have had this camera for a little over a month and it is a great camera. I have not regretted buying it once. Auto mode is just as easy to use as any P&S. Manual Mode gives full creative control. The quality of my first photo to my latest have been... great. I LOVE this camera! Read full review »
