 Nikon D-40 July 2, 2008

Great product, easy to use and understand and takes great pictures. Easy to download to computer.
 What a piece of junk! June 30, 2008
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
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!
 Extremely Great Camera for The Price June 28, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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 you get a hang of it, it gets easier to take great pictures. And I've only had it for a few days! Be warned however that the RAW file Nikon cameras produce is called NEF and doesn't work very well with Adobe products. By "doesn't work well" I mean that any custom color settings that you set on the camera won't be recognized, such as 'vivid' mode. This isn't a problem as you can get the same effects in post-production if necessary, and if you plan on shooting JPEG this doesn't affect you. Nikon products will display properly however.
Pros:
Great value for the price
Powerful and fast DSLR
Cons:
NEF issues mentioned above.
I would buy this again.
Excellent entry level DSLR June 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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 for those wanting to make their first step into the DSLR world, I would recommend this camera over ANY of the other entry level DSLR cameras such as the D60, D40x, or Canon Rebel XTI. Also, 6.1 megapixels is PLENTY for making quality images...so don't be turned off by the fact that many of the other entry level DSLRs have 8 or 10 megapixels crammed into their sensors.
I'm a Nikon fanatic, Now even more June 19, 2008

I have a Nikon FE2 and enjoyed it for many many years, This D40 is a miracle, you don't have to go further. Just enjoy and make wonderful pictures. As easy as a pocket one, and as complex and fully featured as the best. I've also used my old nikkor lenses f1.4 50mm and zoom 35-105. It's a permanent challenge to make better picture with my photo knowledges, and artist sidein P, A, S or M, than AUTO mode. I can configure my D40 as my old camera or plenty of new functionalities and indicators.
If you love to make photos participating a little more, then D40 is your partner.
Exccellent product, happy for my decision. Buying experience could not be better, excellent, precise, informed, unbeatable.
