 Love my new camera July 7, 2008
T. Winn (Austin, TX)
This is my first SLR and I've only had it for about a week, but I absolutely love it! The automatic modes run laps around my old point and shoot, but the real fun is in manual modes. The menu is very intuitive and easy to make the necessary changes I'm looking for. I'm not a big fan of hard light and don't really like the built-in flash. I played around a little with the flash compensation, white balance and ISO, but I still find the flash not to my liking. I just ordered the SB-400 with a diffuser so I'm looking forward to some more balanced lighting. I highly recommend the D40 to any entry-level DSLR owner.
Excellent!!!!! July 5, 2008

I have owned my d40 for several months now. Before purchasing it I compared the D40 to other entry level Nikons (d40x and d60) as well as Canons. I am absolutely happy with my purchase. Buy this camera with the 55-200mm vr lens and you cant go wrong.
Great Pictures and Easy July 5, 2008
Dema (NJ)
This digital camera takes great pictures and is easy to operate. It "feels" like a film loading 35mm camera I used to have and loved. Pictures are sharp and clear. The color is beautiful. We also use this camera when shooting pictures for our school and website.

The new D40 I bought from Amazon broke within the first month! An error with the shutter release button (yes the button you press to take a picture only lasted about 200 photo's!). I have years of experience with SLR's so I was pretty shocked that it broke so quickly. I am writing this angry review because I am one week into a two month trip though India and Nepal and service centers are not really available. Don't count on Nikon for help. Buy a Canon!
