I finally understand why I need a DSLR and why this is a real gem of a camera
I have now spent around 3 months with this camera and have taken over 1200 shots. All this time I found it took awesome images. The previous camera I had was a Panasonic FZ5 with a Leica lens. This Nikon was an immediate improvement over the Panasonic in two critical areas. The first is images involving low light. The Panasonic immediately became grainy, while this camera takes lovely shots in dark rooms. Party group scenes are a huge improvement. The second real and demonstrable improvement ove .... Read more

Great camera - but aspiring serious shooters should consider disadvantages
The sheer quantity of excellent reviews already posted here for the D40 would leave me nothing to add were it not for the possibility that my perspective might be useful to a certain subset of possible buyers. I purchased the D40 as a first DSLR, but not as a first SLR. As a former film SLR shooter getting back into SLR photography after a long absence, I was convinced by the many very positive reviews of the D40 that it would provide an excellent entry point. Ken Rockwell's rave reviews, in .... Read more

LOVE IT
We bought this camera to replace the long line of disappointing point and shoot cameras we have gone through over the years. This was the best camera decision we have ever made. The camera is very easy for the amateur to use.

We decided to go with the D40 instead of the D60 after reading all the review .... Read more

Awesome First DSLR
If you are ready to drop the point-and-shoot world, but don't want to spend a lot of money then get the Nikon D40. Definitely need to get at least a 4GB SD card and 2 lenses. I recommend the 18-55mm and the 55-200mm as a good start. .... Read more

I regret purchasing the Nikon D40
I had a lovely (now dead) point-and-shoot digital that far out-performed the Nikon D40. Yes, it's a Nikon. Yes, it's affordable. But that's verging on too good to be true, and for a good reason. The D40 does a lovely job of taking photos of stationary objects under full light. If you want to take a photo on a cloudy day, plan on using a tripod. If you want greater depth of field, plan on using a tripod. It's slow. Really slow. Plan on using a tripod. You can bump up the ISO, but that b .... Read more
