 Great entry-level DSLR camera Feb 11, 2010
I wanted to upgrade my camera from a small point and shoot and a freind, who's really into photography, recommended the Nikon D40. I bought an after-market Nikon zoom lens to go with it and couldn't be happier. Traveling thru the Grand Canyon and Vegas right after Christmas, my wife and I took 800+ photos and have created numerous albums since then. Very satisfied and dealing with Amazon for this purchase was as simple as could be. Highly recommended.
 first higher end camera Feb 05, 2010
This is the first higher end camera I've owned. The supplied lens in my opinion is low quaility as mine broke the first time I adjusted the zoom level. I couldn't help myself, so I took it apart and repaired it after hearing that the item was no longer in stock. Overall I really like the camera and would suggest it to anyone wanting to upgrade from the handheld on the go cameras like I had in the past.
Nikon D40 absolutely rocks! Best buy for the money! Jan 28, 2010
The Nikon D40 is the camera for you, whether you are a beginner just getting into the D-SLR world or are an avid photographer. I was new to the photography world when I spent months comparing camera after camera. I chose Nikon not only for its great reputation, but also the features, price, reliability and other reviews. 3 years later and after playing with many other cameras, I am still in love with my D40.
The camera has great features, takes wonderful pictures whether it's on the fully automatic settings or I'm controlling the settings. Additional items such as external flash mounts and lenses are affordable and of the same great quality you would expect from Nikon.
The camera is easy to use - especially after reading the manual-and although a DSLR, lightweight enough to take everywhere! The camera is also very quiet, especially compared to some of its competitive counterpart. I recently was handed a Canon Rebel XT to shoot a corporate multi-day meeting. Compared to the Nikon, it was rather clunky to operate and the shutter is quite loud. I ended up using my personal camera for the rest of the event.
A feature I would have liked to have included is a sensor cleaner. Other than that the camera is full of useful features that help you take wonderful photos.

Fantastic Camera Jan 18, 2010
It took a minute to get used to having to use the view finder as I've been using the usual digital with LCD screen but after that I realized what I'd been missing for so long... A really good camera!

Love it! Dec 28, 2009
I received this camera out of the blue as a Christmas/Graduation gift. I had just received a Canon Powershot in September and loved that camera, but when I got this one. WOW....JUST WOW.
I absolutely love this camera, and I am so happy I finally own a DLSR. I love being able to have more control over images, holding this camera feels natural, and I like that you can buy accessories and lenses for this versus your regular point and shoot digital cameras. For a first DLSR, I highly recommend this.
The only thing I wish it had was a preview feature like you have on point and shoots (I'm not sure what you'd call that feature but you can see your image through the eyepiece and on the screen before you take it). Otherwise, I love it and am having a fun time taking pictures with it and learning all the other features it has!
