I researched cameras for about a month before choosing the D40. I bought mine at a large camera shop chain and got a fantastic deal, getting the additional lens as well as dvd's, case and all kinds of coupons for free services as well as a "free" pr

From: CNET Reviewed by: bkolowski111 Posted: Jul 22, 2008 Type: User Review "Fantastic camera!!"

Most people balk at purchasing this camera because it only has a 6.1 megapixel sensor. Most people don't realize that megapixels don't matter as much as some people think they do. 6.1 megapixels is plenty for 95% percent of photographers. Beyond that

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...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 30, 2008 Type: User Review What a piece of junk!

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...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 28, 2008 Type: User Review Extremely Great Camera for The Price

I'm a beginner, this is my first DSLR and I'm extremely pleased. It is a little small for people with big hands like me. Honestly, a beginner photographer needs nothing more. The controls are easy to understand and are all laid out very well. Once...

This camera is great, it takes wonderful pictures even if you have no clue how to use a DSLR. The camera has some great "AUTO" modes that take great pictures, but it also has manual exposure modes for more advanced photographers. A great camera...

Nikon D40 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with 18-135mm Nikkor Zoom Lens.
For $660 it's hard to beat the photo quality of the camera, and the range of the zoom lens. In dSLR usage, the lens is 27-202mm (1.5x focal factor), very wide to medium...
