Product Rating: 4.1 star(s) Nikon D40 SLR

Comments:
A few years ago, $1000 was a critical price barrier for digital SLRs. Now, as interest in SLRs has grown among casual photographers, vendors have been racing to produce a $500 model. Though no camera has reachede that goal yet, Nikon's new D40 comes close

Review Verdict: At $600, the D40 is a great value, and a great tool for photographers who want to grow. The included help system and aperture displays are fantastic learning tools, and the fact that the camera provides full priority and manual modes, as well as RAW, ensu

Product Rating: 4.15 star(s) Nikon D40

Comments:
Good performance and handling, low price and far better quality than any digital compact.

Review Verdict: This isn't surprising, as both the auto focus sensor and image-processing engine are taken from the D80. So, the D40 has a rich heritage. It's also kept the D80's auto-ISO function, upping the ISO only when the shutter drops below a preset speed. Shutter

Product Rating: 4 star(s) Nikon D40: 2008 Review

Comments:
With today's economic climate, money is tight. Yesteryear's Nikon D40 comes in cheap, but how does it stand up by today's standards?

Review Verdict: Despite the low cost, the Nikon D40 does not seem built down to a price. It feels nicely robust in the hand; light and plastic, but solid polycarbonate. The 2.5" rear LCD is bright and doesn't seem small unless you compare it to later designs. The menu sy

Nikon D40 - hands on Digital SLR Review

Comments:
Nikon's latest announcement, their 12th dSLR camera, the D40 has had a few rumours r

Review Verdict: Although a lower numerical denominator has been used (and I wouldn't for one moment think that was to upset Canon's 10D, 20D, 30D sequence) the new model is an improvement on the existing D50 in it's ease of use, and the number of features inherited from

Aimed squarely at the first-time D-SLR user, and especially at those family and social photographers who have been frustrated by their digicam's bothersome shutter lag, the Nikon D40 is a compact camera that still holds enough features to satisfy budding

Nikon D40 Digital SLR Camera Review

Comments:
Nikon's 6.1-megapixel D40 sprung into the market near the end of 2006, just in time for shopping season. With an impressive $599 price tag that includes a generic 18-55mm kit lens, the camera's entry price is perhaps its most revolutionary element. With a

Review Verdict: Nikon's claim that "anyone can operate this camera to great success" may be true. The D40 packs a hearty collection of in-camera editing options: D-Lighting (which brightens the shadows and mid-tones in underexposed images), Red-Eye correction, cropping,

Nikon D40/D40x Review

Comments:
The Nikon D40/D40x is the smallest, lightest, and cheapest APS-C DSLR from any manufacturer. This is the first camera that makes effective use of the fact that there is a powerful computer inside and a big LCD display on the back. When you're choosing ISO

Review Verdict: better controls for creativity; the fancier point and shoots offer full manual control, but they have so few buttons that changing a setting involves wading deep into menus. To switch the D40 from aperture- to shutter-priority, for example, you simply tur

Nikon D40 Camera Review

Comments:
The D40 is a light and compact dSLR that is meant as a transition camera, so people who are used to using point-and-shoot cameras can learn how to use something of a higher level. The resolution isn't that great, but it is good enough to take some good pi

Review Verdict: This is a semi-pro camera that will allow mainstream consumers to get a feel for the power of a dSLR. The price is reasonable, and it has everything you're going to need except maybe a couple of extra megapixels. Those who are tired of tiny automatic pock
