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

I read all the reviews and this camera is just as advertised. Great system for an entry level digital SLR. I would recommend this camera to anyone making the jump from a point and shoot. Definately worth the money!

This review is more about SLR's in general than this specific camera but this is the camera i purchased so this is where my review goes...I bought this camera while station in afghanistan, i was very excited, with thoughts of someday seeing my photos in magazines, then i started messing with the camera...i played with it for a few days maybe a week, then placed it back in the hard case i purchased for it and there it sat for over two years until my mom decided she was going to try her luck with an SLR. the reasons this camera was not used are listed below: 1. I was very intimidated by this cameras price . With the lens i purchased i had over 1200 strapped around my neck, the few times i had it out i always felt like the strap was going to come undone and the camera was going to go crashing to the ground! this never happened but it was a fear i could not shake. 2. I was very intimidated by this cameras complexity. I bought the idiots guide to SLR's and all of that and just never really
