 Buy a D40 if you want to get started with digital SLRs December 3, 2008
The Nikon D40 is an ideal way to get started with high-end digital photography. It's inexpensive, and won't depreciate much further, so there's not much risk in buying. If you're wondering if you should buy Nikon or Canon, don't worry--just buy now and learn.br /
DSL Light, just right for me. November 30, 2008
I have had a number of point and shoot cameras, including a Lumix which which looks like an SLR, but quality of pictures is lacking. I wanted a camera that would take serious pictures of musical instruments and travel experiences. After a number of positive online reviews, I made the plunge and could not be happier. I bought the kit with the 55-200 extented lense. I take pictures at the low size level, which still produces outstanding quality pictures. I find that anything over 1 meg has to be reduced to email and is more trouble to fool with as I only make 4x6 pictures. As a result the newer 10 meg version was not really an options for me. The camera is easy to use. If you put it on P instead of auto, the flash will not be a problem during the day. Were this to be stolen, I would buy it again. This camera blows away any point and shoot camera that I have used or owned.br /
 As Usual A Great Nikon November 27, 2008
I bought this camera after waiting a long time to go digital. I am not a professional photographer, so I don't use a lot of the "higher tech" features. However, I found this camera to be very user friendly and the price is definitely right for an SLR. br /br /I don't like to lug around a big camera, so the size of the Nikon D40 is perfect to carry in a small camera bag or in a mini bag inside a purse, which is great plus on a vacation.br /br /If you've been waiting to go digital, then the Nikon D40 is a great place to start.
Perfect Camera For DSLR Beginners! November 26, 2008
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.br /br /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). br /br /The kit lens that accompanied the camera has already delivered some phenomenal shots, and I'm pretty pumped up and excited about using it for family photos for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Finally, someone in my family (me) will be able to share respectable and hopefully jaw dropping shots that capture the feel of the holidays more than a point and shoot camera can. br /br /No need to get too technical here. It's simple. If you're looking for the best quality DSLR camera at the best price, this is it. Don't hesitate, just get it. Read the other 100+ 5 star reviews if you want, but they all say the same thing - this camera ROCKS! br /br /
Best Entry-level DSLR on the market November 23, 2008
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.
