Consumer Reviews
Pros
Very fast, solid build quality, outstanding image quality, and excellent battery life
Cons
Kit lens is a bit soft in the corners, no DOFP button
Recommended it?
Yes
One of the most remarkable consequences of the past decade is the almost lemming-like parade of consumers jumping on the digital camera bandwagon. Family snap-shooters, casual shutterbugs, and serious amateur photographers worldwide abandoned millions of perfectly good 35mm film cameras to collect...

Photo quality, flexibility and simplicity; ease of use with simple buttons and dials;...
Cons
"Kit" lenses offered are less than great solutions, consider upgrading.

Pros
Small, light weight, beautifully realized images. Price Point.
Cons
Inability to AF with all Nikon lenses. Consumer quality build.
Recommended it?
Yes
The Nikon D40 with 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 AF-S AF lens is this company's bare bones entry level offering in the extremely volatile digital SLR market. As the two giants of the industry, Canon and Nikon vie for an ever increasing slice of the dSLR pie, Nikon has taken a calculated marketing gamble by...

Pros
Easy to use for entry level dSLR user, lens kit included, much more
Cons
D40 is bare bones for dSLR, but has the stuff for any entry level enthusiast.
