Comments:
Although Nikon continues to improve and hone its entry-level D-SLRs to make them easier to use, the D40 doesn't quite earn a coveted Editors' Choice award.

QuickTake:
Pros: Compact, light, and easy to use. Helpful guide features. Very inexpensive for a D-SLR.
Cons: Performance isn't quite as good as other entry-level D-SLRs. Only three AF points. Flash shots could be better.
