Wonderful camera!

Strengths: -Amazing image quality, better jpg quality even than D50 -Fast shot-to-shot, no shutter lag -Small size and light weight -Very good kit lens -Great and intuitive interface

Weakness: -Not many AF-S primes -Kit does not include a lens hood

I took the jump and went DSLR (chose it over the Canon Rebel XTi). Let me tell you, this is an amazing little camera at an amazing price just as all the reviews have said. Its size and light weight is perfect for those tired of the poor image quality of point and shoots (especially with high ISO) and are looking to move up without wanting to go to something too big. Even serious photographers...

Great Camera!!! Would recommend to anyone!

Strengths: Great picture quality, VERY fast, great build quality, huge viewfinder, great features

Weakness: Only 6 megapixels

This is a great camera. It takes great shots. It is so much faster than any compact camera I've used. With my previous compact camera I would have to wait over 4 seconds between shots with flash. With the D40, once you take the shot, it's ready for another one. The grip is large and well built. The kit lens is a little too lightweight in my opinion, but it's not that hard to get used to it. I was...

The D 40 is an excellent Camera

Strengths: Everything

Weakness: None that I can think of at this time

D40 came out in 2006, and it was a great camera then and still is today. The first picture that I took was of professional standards. The colors were excellent, the lighting was great, and I had no complaint what so ever. I took a hand held picture and I like it some much, I had to see how far I could go in blowing it up. The size of the picture was 12X18. The picture was taken with the 18-55 mm...

Best digital SLR for the price

Strengths: Picture quality, low noise at high ISO, features, size and weight, large LCD, battery life, price

Weakness: Charger has cord, doesn't connect directly to wall outlet. Burst speed is not that fast.

This camera is great for the price. It's better than the Canon Rebet XT which I owned before this one. It takes better pictures than that one. The ISO settings at 1600 and 3200 are incredible in the little noise they produce, especially the 1600. 1600 in this Nikon is better than 400 in my Canon A710. I love the small size and the big 2.5" lcd. If you are not sure which to buy between the Nikon...

Bargains like this are hard to find!

Strengths: easy to use, outstanding quality for the price

Weakness: Absolutely NONE.. you get what you pay for.

When you pay $500 for something, you should do a little research on what it is your are buying. Anyone who is surprised by the lack of an internal motor or lack of compatibility of legacy lenses should have done their homework. This is a great camera to break into the DSLR arena. Yes, you can get a better lens, but not in this price range. That includes the Canon, Olympus and the Pentax. Ability...
