 Excellent camera January 7, 2009
I longed for this camera years before I bought it. Now that it is finally mine I have not regretted it one bit. Tons of fun to play with, snappy response, plenty of bells and whistles. Yay!
Nikon D-40 now a digital standard January 7, 2009
This is the fourth Nikon D-40 digital camera I bought; the first three were for close relatives I wanted to delight. The camera is an affordable yet professional package of 6.1 megapixel digital photography. I have only a few quibbles. The "review" button is not labeled "review", like other cameras, sporting a cryptic arrow instead. Not crystal clear, as it should be! Reviewing photos taken is fraught with possible missteps. The photos are scrolled by means of the multiarrow collar in the back. One must use the proper arrows, left or right, to scroll. Accidentally punching the up or down arrows would bring an intermittent solarization of the picture or a density graph superimposed on the pictures; these are hard to get rid of unless one reads the entire manual. A veritable trap for amateurs, which would have nothing to do with solarization or density graphs; they just want to take pictures!
Regardless of these niggles, the D-40 Nikon represents a great value in digital photography.
Love it January 6, 2009
It is a great starter camera for the switch from dark room to manual work. I love it already and have had it less than a week!

We purchased this camera on the recomendations of many friends and the Ken Rockwell reviews. They were all right. We were stepping up from a "point and shoot" that looked like a SLR (Fuji S5200) and were looking for a digital SLR that wouldn't put us in the poor house. We have been very pleased. We also purchased the 55-200mm lens because the standard lens just doesn't zoom very far. It is simple to use, is very fast, and has so many features we will probably never use them all. We are also glad that it uses the inexpensive SD memory that can be found anywhere vs the XD card that our old camera used. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone who wants a light weight, easy to use, quality, DSLR for a great price.
