excellent buy |
|
This is an excellent buy. I recommend it for any family who likes pictures. I also recommend it for a semi-professional who needs the second camera on hand. |

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. The D40 takes fantastic pictures, especially in low-light situations. Compared to my other cameras, the Canon G10, Canon SD1100, and Sony W-150, the D40 blows them away. It took me about an hour to learn all of the different modes and features, but once I got that down and felt comfortable with the camera I was taking great shots. I tried out the Canon Rebel XS, and the D40 at my local camera shop before buying it here on Jas-store, and I was much more impressed with the D40 overall. I highly recommend this camera if you're looking for a cheap DSLR. |

Great camera for the money |
The D40 really is a great camera that has many more positives than negatives. Because of that, I'll start with the negatives.
Negatives:
1. 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 a negative)
Positives:
1. Excellent IQ
2. Very lightweight and small
3. Excellent price point
4. Compatible with numerous Nikon accessories and third party accessories
5. Easy to navigate menus
6. Building on Negative number 5 - I think that the lack of internal autofocus motor is actually a positive thing because it makes the camera lighter. The "limitations" on lenses is really not that big of a deal because most of Nikons newer lenses are AF-S or AF-I anyways. This really only comes in to play when buying third party glass. As for Sigma, the HSM lenses are compatible. All of Nikon's nicest lenses are AF-S or AF-I so that would not be a problem, although I don't really see the standard D40 user putting a $4000 lens on the camera.
It truly is a great camera, don't feel like you have inferior equipment with this camera and don't feel like you need to spend a lot of money on a body for your first camera. |

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. |
