Perfect Camera For DSLR Beginners!
Just last week I received my Nikon D40 (I got it super fast thanks to Amazon Prime) and I couldn't be more excited/happy/inspired/creative and many more similar descriptive words.

Nikon has obviously done an excellent job hitting their target market for this camera (someone like me, who wanted to jump the bridge from point and shoot to DSLR), and we should be thankful that we can pick up a camera of this kind of quality for such a fair price (under $500).

Best Entry-level DSLR on the market
Simply put, this camera excels at being compact and versatile! It may not have some of the features of the $1000+ DSLR's, but it does exactly what you want in an SLR and it does it very well. The 6.1MP lens is gorgeous and the shooting modes are all gorgeous. Even if you aren't an entry-level DSLR photographer, the compact nature of this camera will thoroughly excel in what you need. ....

Perfect first DSLR
I bought this kit + the 55-200 zoom in June 2008 and it's been perfect. I was a former SLR user in the film age but couldn't justify the crazy prices of DSLRs in the past.

Awesome starter camera
I have been shooting with a DSLR for almost a year and the first 10 months were with the Nikon D40. This camera is a great starter camera. It is really easy to learn on, and works great for those who just want to shoot on auto. Plus you can't beat the price!

I recently updated to the nikon d80, and wish I had my D40 back. The D80 underexposes everything.

The reason I got rid of my D40 was because there were only 3 focusing points, and it can't auto focus with some .... Read more

Awesome entry level DSLR
Awesome camera! Takes amazing pictures for any level of photographer. The camera is quick to take the shot, and once you become familiar with its functions and operations, its quick and easy. Good price for an entry level DSLR camera that comes with an all around "day to day" lens. Please, read reviews and make sure that this camera is what you want. The camera is not the important piece for quality shots, its shot composure. Ive taken shots with a lowend 3MP point and shoot that blow this c .... Read more
