 Nikon D40 with kit lens July 1, 2009

Ordered my Nikon D40 on Sunday, received it on the following Wednesday... Great service by Amazon. The camera is exceptional! I showed it to a friend of mine, a professional photographer and he was amazed at the camera (he's a Canon guy) and even more amazed at the price. I have been interested in photography for a long time but haven't had a SLR since the film days. I am having lots of fun with the D40, its hard to take a bad picture when you use the automatic mode. Since I got the camera I have purchased a UV Filter, Remote Control, Gorillapod and a Crumpler Camera bag and have been doing a lot of reading and experimenting.
br /Thanks KenRockwell.com for the recommendation and the tutorials.

I am a complete noob when it comes to SLRs. After researching DSLRs for a month or so, I decided on the D40. I am extremely happy with the choice. I've bought a D40 book and have been teaching myself how to use it to get the best possible shot. Its easy to use, the menus are self explanitory and easy to navigate. The kit lens that comes with it is a little junky, you're going to want to upgrade that pretty quickly. My standard kit is a Sigma f/1.4 50mm and a Nikon 55-200 AF VR. I rarely find myself in situations that these 2 lenses wont do what I need them to do.

br /If you're looking for a great entry level DSLR, this is the one to get.
Right camera for me June 26, 2009

[...] I found that it has all the features that I need/want and was a lot less money than the cameras that I was considering (Nikon D5000 or D90). Easy to use and great pictures.
My first SLR June 26, 2009

After surviving with a point and shoot that was slow and always missed the moment, I finally broke down and bought an SLR. After 6 months of research, the D40 seemed like the best camera for the money, especially for a beginner.

br /Got the camera on a Friday, in time for a weekend in San Antonio. By end of the weekend, I had taken 900 pictures at the Alamo and Sea World!! It was so nice to catch the picture right now! The pictures came out great, it's super easy to use, and for the price, I would recommend this to anyone.
NIKON D40. Your first step into "real Photogrphy" June 21, 2009

Great camera. If you need more than what this camera gives, you shold purchase a Hasselbad. Easy to use-sharp photos with both lens. Have used it local and on a trip to Banf, Cansda and recorded the Calgary Stampede and show. Ansel Adams would have gone nuts with this camera and the Canadian Rockys. The battery has a long life. The on camera flash works well up to about fifteen feet. But an SB400 flash. Contact me at "[...] and I will email youa couple of photos.
br /There are other fine cameras out there but the my final judgement was made after seeing the Nikon website and the online hoto program describing exactly how the camera function and examples of how each mode functions. Better than any written manual that I have ever seen.
