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...

great pictures, easy to use, great value for price
Cons
Only 3 focus boxes in the viewfinder, not as portable as a point and snap
Recommended it?
Yes
I love this camera! I've enjoyed taking pictures with a point and snap (both film and digital) for years. My husband decided it was time I take my hobby up a notch this past Christmas and surprised with me this camera & lens. I've taken about 6000 pictures since I received it Christmas morning...
