Nikon D40 Digital Camera Review
DigitalCameraReview.com
Published on: 1/26/2007 9:57 PM
The Nikon D40 is the "gateway drug" into the world of digital SLRs. The combination of nice price, high quality and ease of use is certain to lead to SLR addiction. With the D40, Nikon wants to make sure that you're not intimidated by the controls or size of an SLR and I think that they've done a good job. Also, by including plenty of "help" features into the camera, it becomes very easy to figure out which setting does what....read the full review

5 of 5 Great General-Purpose Camera Friday, December 14, 2007
Dave Ballance from Portland, OR  

This is a great camera if you want to step up from the point-and-shoot ones. The 6.1 MP will probably be fine for most peoples' usage. The first weekend after I got it I went walking around downtown taking pictures of everything and was very pleased with the results and with blowing up the pictures to larger than a standard 4x6 or 5x7. I did have to buy a new printer because my 6-year-old one just didn't have the DPI to print the pictures I took with this camera. But printers are relatively inexpensive now so I was happy to get a new one. The big surprise I had was that it didn't come with a memory card. So note that if you're buying this as a gift - make sure you get a memory card too.
