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.

Review Verdict: Positioned at the very bottom of Nikon's dSLR food chain, the company aims the D40 at first-time dSLR buyers moving up from tricycles to training wheels. As such, it contains an assortment of preexisting parts from its siblings: the same (or very similar)

Review: Nikon D40 digital cameraEntry-level SLR with minimal complexity but plenty of creative control
Review Verdict: The D40 costs around £50 less than the D50 and we feel it's a better camera, despite the lack of internal focus motor and top-mounted status panel. It's smaller, lighter, has a bigger LCD screen and a host of new features
