 Rating:  - Does everything it's supposed to, and admirably wellAfter a bit of deliberation - and some exposure to a friend's D70 - I took the plunge for the D40. As a basic platform for any likely kind of consumer level photography it's among the best. It's quick to power up, the viewfinder is bright and informative, and the LCD is big and tack sharp. With its intuitive features and menus I'm as completely happy with it as I've been with the 25+ years I've had my Olympus OM series film cameras.

I also recommend it for a semi-professional who needs the second camera on hand. Rating: - The best serious camera under $450.Before buying this Nikon D40 DSLR I've only used compact "point and shoot" digital cameras. The jump in quality between the two is amazing.

Poor high ISO capability 2. Only 3 Focus points - makes photo composition a lot harder than it needs to be 3. Inability to wirelessly trigger speedlights 4. Small size and lack of buttons makes changing settings difficult in full manual 5. No autofocus motor in the body (but I think this may be more of a positive than ... Read More Rating: - Delightful D40 I purchased this camera for my daughter to use in her photography class. This is a great entry level camera that is light in weight and easy to use. The quality of the photographs are remarkable. I also purchased a Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Zoom Nikkor Lens, that I recommend highly as well. |
