My 1st DSLR

3/13/2010

I think I read so many reviews for cameras that I confused myself. I'm new to SLR cameras, but after reading what was probably a gazillion reviews for Nikons I opted for the D40. More than one person told me (and I read) that it's a great starter camera.

I love it and am so glad that I went with it. I do wish that the lens was a little better on the zoom, but the "kit" lens is usually not the greatest. It's perfect for what I'm using it for right now. Once my kids start their Spring sports I'll be shopping for a better zoom lens.

All in all, it was easy to use, has lots of options, is fairly lightweight, and takes great photos.

I'd recommend this camera to others.

Great camera!

3/11/2010

I recently bought the Nikon D40 because I wanted to upgrade from my point and shoot camera. I love it! The image quality is great, the menu is intuitive, it's easy to carry around and not too heavy, and I am having a blast with the manual setting. I definitely recommend this camera for new photographers.

Great entry-level DSLR camera

2/11/2010

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

2/5/2010

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!

1/28/2010

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.
