- DSL Light, just right for me.
- I have had a number of point and shoot cameras, including a Lumix which which looks like an SLR, but quality of pictures is lacking. I wanted a camera that would take serious pictures of musical instruments and travel experiences. After a number of positive online reviews, I made the plunge and could not be happier. I bought the kit with the 55-200 extented lense. More reviews
- As Usual A Great Nikon
- I bought this camera after waiting a long time to go digital. I am not a professional photographer, so I don't use a lot of the "higher tech" features. However, I found this camera to be very user friendly and the price is definitely right for an SLR.
I don't like to lug around a big camera, so the size of the Nikon D40 is perfect to carry in a small camera bag More reviews
- Perfect Camera For DSLR Beginners!
- Just last week I received my Nikon D40 (I got it super fast thanks to Amazon Prime) and I couldn't be more excited/happy/inspired/creative and many more similar descriptive words.
Nikon has obviously done an excellent job hitting their target market for this camera (someone like me, who wanted to jump the bridge from point and shoot to DSLR), and More reviews
- Best Entry-level DSLR on the market
- Simply put, this camera excels at being compact and versatile! It may not have some of the features of the $1000+ DSLR's, but it does exactly what you want in an SLR and it does it very well. The 6.1MP lens is gorgeous and the shooting modes are all gorgeous. Even if you aren't an entry-level DSLR photographer, the compact nature of this More reviews
- Perfect first DSLR
- I bought this kit + the 55-200 zoom in June 2008 and it's been perfect. I was a former SLR user in the film age but couldn't justify the crazy prices of DSLRs in the past. Now, I can't recommend this camera enough for anyone who is looking for better photos than a point and shoot can provide. As with any SLR, More reviews
