Consumer Reviews
Pros
Small, light weight, beautifully realized images. Price Point.
Cons
Inability to AF with all Nikon lenses. Consumer quality build.

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...
