Pros
Small, light weight, beautifully realized images. Price Point.
Cons
Inability to AF with all Nikon lenses. Consumer quality build.

Yes
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 has taken a calculated marketing gamble by...

5 Megapixel Images, Pro metering, NO SHUTTER LAG
Cons
Nothing important
Recommended it?
Yes
For the past ten years professional and serious amateur photographers have wondered what digital photography was going to be like when it grew up. The answer to that question is pretty complicated, but the new Nikon Coolpix 5000 might be part of the answer. Every now and again there is a quantum...

Pros
Incredible images. Numerous features. Good optics. Nikon name.
Cons
Expensive. Only a 3x optical zoom. Some shutter lag.
Recommended it?
Yes
