 We love this camera! August 22, 2008
Got this for my wife as a Christmas gift. We have used it mostly for shots of our daughter and other "candids". This has everything we need. As we progress more into learning about our camera, we will use the manual selections, but the auto stops are GREAT on this camera. We mostly use the sports or kids functions and it has created great photos. We are still working on framing, etc. but good equipment helps take good pictures.
If you have kids, this camera is great because (as opposed to other digital cameras we've had) this has variable shutter speeds so you can actually take the picture you see instead of waiting 1+ seconds for the camera to actually take the picture! There's nothing we hated more than seeing a shot we wanted, only for our daughter to have looked away in that split second while the camera we had was "taking" the picture...
Great portable camera! August 21, 2008
I emphasize the portability because it is small and lightweight (for those long hikes or shows). I have used this camera for a year now in all conditions. From snow storms to the beaches of Huntington Beach and it still surprises me at the beautiful photos and the new things I am learning about it every day!
My best investment, besides the camera body itself, would have to be my Nikon 50mm f/1.8 Nikkor lens. It only costs around $100 and is perfect for all occasions, low light and all. Even though this lens does not auto-focus with the D40, when you get that perfect shot in focus you feel that much better of a photographer.
Back to the camera, I cannot praise it enough for giving high quality photos with minimal effort. My love for Nikon and it's products grows daily.
If you are a beginner or advanced photographer, this camera is light, compatible, and sexy. I would recommend it to all beginning and wanting to leap from the point and shoot cameras to a digital SLR. If you can spend the extra cash, get the Nikon D40x. It has a few more features, though the D40 holds its own.
Again, this is the best investment of my life. The best thing about most digital slrs and lenses are that they worth just as much if you sell them years later if you keep them in good condition! Almost like you are getting a camera for free, except I will probably never sell my camera gear ever.
I researched the Nikon camera bodies for several months before I finally purchased the D40 and have no regrets. Keep shooting and never give up fellow photographers!
Adorama August 21, 2008
Excellent camera package. I believe the D40 is better than D60 and D80 for accurate color rendering. The pair of zoom lenses included in price was a great bargain.
Delivery on time with up to the minute tracking. Adorama is a great company.
Awesome camera August 18, 2008
I researched which entery level DSLR to grab for probably 3 months and this camera stood out as the clear winner.
The pictures are beautiful and the learning curve isn't very steep.
NIKON D40 August 15, 2008
Having used digital cameras for several years I wanted to upgrade to DSLR for the ability to change lenses. Have taken over 1000 pics so far and am very pleased. The menu is very handy and the Help feature is a plus. Pictures are sharp and clear, as long as I do my part. Don't take flash pics with the hood on, it leaves shadows. Software loaded on Vista easily and downloads are fast. And the price was right!
