Nikon D40 REVIEW # BEST PRICE: 2011

Nikon D40 Great Camera, Including Sports
I am a Canon fan when it comes to point-and-shoot pocket size cameras. For me, money can't buy a point-and-shoot camera better than an Elph. When it came time to upgrade to a DSLR, I chose Nikon. I have friends in the photography business (Weddings) and they always choose Nikon over Canon. That said, both brands are great.

I do not consider myself a profession, but more of an prosumer. I chose the D40 because I wanted a lightweight DSLR for vacations and college football games. Yes, this camera is great for college football. While it only does 2.5 frames/sec, I find that it is more than enough for my needs.

You can get more megapixels now, but it is not necessary. Most will probably choose the D60 or the new D5000 over the D40. When I chose the D40, I was choosing based on several factors, including price. The D40 was the least expensive at the time. Plus, I put the money I saved into extra betteries and memory cards. 6.1 megapixels is enough for me and I feel that it is a good balance between photo size and defintion. You can crop nicely, even at 6.1 megapixels. This camera is smaller is size and is lighter in weight than mosr DSLRs.

I have found the menu settings to be easy to understand and can recall the locations of settings with ease. You can also create a customized menu for your favorite options.

I recently shot vow renewal ceremony with this camera and the additional Sb-400 speedlight flash, bouncing the light off of the ceiling. The camera was more than adequate and took some great photos.

When you read this review, do a price/features comparison for the camera that suits your needs.

Nikon D40 Great performing camera
The D40 is a great performing camera and most importantly it is affordable. If you pay a lot of money for a camera and then worry putting a scratch on it, the camera is useless to you. It needs to become your partner wherever you go. You can't take pictures when the camera sits at home on a shelf. The D40 is rugged and it is ready to play.

Some people get hung up about resolution, how many sensor pixels should your camera have? That is actually the wrong concern. The issue is do you need a CCD sensor or a CMOS sensor. The D40 uses a CCD sensor with an aspect ratio of 3:2 instead of 4:3. ISO is 200 to 1600, versus 200 to 3200. So the D40 is a little more noisy at the higher ISO settings but using a faster lens usually solves that problem. In this regard I would buy the D40 body and get a better lense like the Nikkor 16 - 70 mm.

I would like to make one more point, many articles and reviews state that this is a great starter DSLR. Really? Not too long ago we used a square box for a camera and took pictures of the same quality as most expensive cameras. Does a good set of pot and pans produce great food, or does the cook create good food? This is the very same principal with cameras. Ultimately it is what you see and interpret that produces the picture and the D40 is ready to execute your vision.

The reason why I give the D40 4 stars instead of 5 stars, the D90 is looking very impressive. Keep in mind, the camera that follows you is the best camera for you.

Nikon D40 Great camera
The major strengths are the performance of the image sensor at 1600 ISO. It produces very good quality images here, and is a great way to break into the DSLR arena. Another great strength is the battery life. It can take almost two days' worth of heavy vacation photos (approx 6-700 exposures - 1/3 to 1/4 flash), before showing the need for a charge. It has a built-in editor that does red-eye repairs better than anything else I've seen.

The only weakness I can think of is the lack of an internal focusing motor, so that you couldn't have AF when using a Nikon film camera's AF lenses on this body. It still works, just won't focus automatically.

I you buy one of these, and wish to supplement the knowledge available from the owner's manual, go here: http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d40/users-guide/index.htm Ken has done a great job of showing you how to get more out of this camera, or how to enjoy it more.

Nikon D40 Best Price, Good Buying Experience
I purchased this product as a high school graduation present for my grandson. His folks purchased a D40 kit for him about a year ago but the camera was stolen when he was returning from a trip to Brazil. He loved this camera and it was therefor easy for me to replace it. Everything was delivered on time and arrived in good condition.

Nikon D40 Best Price, Love this purchase!
when I got this purchase, I took it to anywhere with me to take pictures of many things immediately.. First thing I was awakard with nikon technical becuase i did not used to this brand. I am huge fan of Canon brand things, so I used to this.. But I still (in progress) learn how to use nikon d40, it is good for me as beginner and help me getting more experience with this before buying expensive dslr camera.. Overall, I like this purchase, and I am happy it is worth my money for this.. P.S. I want to buy extra lens to get better closer pitures. :)

Nikon D40 Best Buy, The best Camera I have ever had
I purchased a Nikon D40 this is my first SLR camera. I have to tell you, I purchased this camera to take pictures of a wedding for someone and I hit payday. It is a great camera, I purchased an additional lense from sigma and I am taking pictures galore. There is no complaint from this girl. The only thing I would suggest is to purchase other lense's with it. Other than that this is the camera to buy whether you are a newbie or experienced photographer.
