This was my first DSLR and I bought it 6 months before first child was born. I cannot take a bad picture with this thing. Pair with the cheap SB-400 flash and you'll be taking professional pictures in any light with little effort. The fact that people still drop several hundred dollars on the virtually "disposable" "cute colored" point and shoots when a camera like this is just a couple hundred more is beyond me. Buy it, buy it now.

i had been wanting a slr for quite some time and was debating between this one and the Canon Rebel XS. I chose this one because only 6 megapixel is needed to make a good cropped 8x10 photo. and because it costs much less than all the other slr. it came within 5 days and was in the brand new box. the pictures it takes are extremely clear (as long as you keep it on the highest quality) there are also a wide range of white balances: cloudy, shady, sunny, fluorescent, flash. and the built in flash is quite powerful. this camera is small and light, i really did not want to be lugging around a huge canon or massive nikon, so this light camera is GREAT! i have had it for about a month now and have had no issues. i would recommend getting another battery with this camera because the one it comes with is only 1000mAH (about 400 pics) and you can buy another $10 battery off of Amazon that has 1800mAH like i did. all in all great camera I would recommend to a friend. but make sure you do

After 2+ years of owning this camera, I've been thinking about buying the Nikon D90 or D300. But, I'm still not sure if the upgrade is worth the cost (FOR ME). I love this camera and it's an incredible value. For a non-pro enthusiast who understands their aperture, shutter speed and ISO, it's probably all you need. Do I wish it had more than 6 megapixels? No, not really. Six is plenty, especially since I'm not one to bother with much cropping. I'm not in any hurry to fill up my hard drive with huge file sizes. And, realistically I'm not printing anything more than 8x11" prints anyway. Do I wish the d40 had a built in lens motor? I do, though most of the newer Nikon lenses (including the kit lens) have the motor built-in. If you are new to the Nikon line, you probably won't have to worry about this. If you have some old Nikon lenses, manual focusing isn't terribly difficult, and I do it all the time with my Nikon 50mm f/1.8D which doesn't have the focusing motor in it. I've

This is a user-friendly camera for first-timers which features an auto mode but you can switch to various help programs in manual mode. This is a great feature for helping photographers migrate from point and shoot to a D-SLR format. It's not as robust as most cameras but then again, the next step up requires a heftier budget. The images are great - even if it's "only 6.1 megapixels"... how much can the eye really see? It's a great camera for the money and photo quality is better than average. And most importantly, it's the right price!!

We waited a long time to buy our first digital camera because my husband is a fairly serious amateur photographer (had his own developing lab in high school and college) and wanted to wait until he could get a good one. Finally, a little over a year ago, and after much research, we bought a Nikon D40. My husband is very happy with it. He knows how to get the most of it in challenging situations. I like it because it's easy to use and takes beautiful, effortless pictures. We're a family of eight and are always on the run for various activities. Because of its excellent performance in lower light situations, we often end up as informal group photographers. We've noticed that its capability in low light situations rivals and occasionally surpasses some of the more expensive cameras we've had a chance to compare it too - e.g. for a big family picture at a wedding in church. Very impressive! I'm pretty impressed with its durability too. It actually got dropped off a table at one point (the
