Cost efficient camera, good for advanced amatures also.......2007-12-28
I have been shooting as an amature for about 15 years, and this is my first digital SLR.
My main comment is that this is plenty of camera for even advanced amatures, and the price should not turn you off. True, it lacks DoF, a focus screw for non-AFS lenses, and sometimes access to needed functions is a bit unwieldy.
However, the bottom line image quality is superb. Get the D40 and invest in another lens.
Problem with the power switch .......2007-12-27
Got this camera kit from Amazon after reading reviews from a whole bunch of places about this camera. However the power switch was faulty. To switch on the camera I had to open and close the battery compartment every time while keeping the switch in ON position. The switch never worked. So sent it back. The return process was easy though, and I got my money back withing a week.
Now I have ordered a Pentax K10D. Hope it will work fine.
Flash problems with D40s and D40xs.......2007-12-26
I bought the Nikon D40 10 days ago and the flash stopped working. I did some research on the internet, and apparently it is not an uncommon problem. I would have really liked the camera otherwise. I will return this camera.
Superb! Perfect for a SLR beginner!! .......2007-12-26
For many of you point-and-shoot users who would be looking at D40 reviews right now in search of "good but not so complicated" SLR just like I was a month ago, I have one thing to say: THIS IS IT. Perfect for SLR beginners just like me. Regarding the kit lens, for a person like me- who will never go into the pro world but perfectly be happy with a camera that I can play with- it just does its job so well. I just like taking pictures of my family and making visual records of my daily life, and the kit lens is perfect for it. I'm pretty sure some people upgrade their lenses accordingly after buying this one, and really, unless you're all going for professional and dying to take really good scenery pictures and etc, i'm more than happy with what I have. The size is also perfect. It's just a perfectly portable size and I don't have a problem carrying it around with me all the time. No, it will not fit in your purses. Yes, it's so easy and light-weight to carry around considering it's SLR. The battery life is quite pleasing to me as well.
Okay, to be short: If you've been using point-and-shoot and now looking for a transitioning amateur SLR camera, D40's what you've been looking for!!
Everything I expected.......2007-12-24
Wanting to move up from a point and click camera to a DSLR, I researched the information on the internet about Canon, Sony, Nikon and Olympus cameras. I wanted a camera that takes good quality pictures in low light situations. My Olympus D560 and Nikon Coolpix 200 both take decent outdoor, normal light conditions, but not in low light conditions. Many reviews were helpful and it came down to a decision between Canon and Nikon. The D40 felt better in my hands from the standpoint of weight and ergonomic layout of buttons. The D40 has excellent refresh rate when the built-in flash is used, which is horrible on the point and click cameras. I am still learning how to use all of the manual and P-S-A modes but the tests I have done so far give excellent picture quality results. The low light test pictures have been great in auto and manual settings. I need to get a tripod to achieve better long-exposure pictures to get the quality of pictures others have posted in reviews. I would recommend the D40 for people wanting to enter the DSLR world. The best advise and information came from Ken Rockwell's site: http://www.kenrockwell.com/index.htm
His site also lead me to Amazon for the best price when I decided to buy. Thanks Ken, Amazon and Nikon.
