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... Read full review »

Note: The review is based on my experience with the following DSLR I've owned: Canon Rebel XTI, Canon 5D, Canon 40D, Canon 50D (short-lived) and now Canon 60D.
