Cons Lens does not focus very quickly.

I purchased the Nikon D40 (w/ 18-55mm lens) about 2 years ago. It was my first DSLR. To this day, it has about 30,000 actuations (i.e., I've snapped the shutter about 30,000 times) and it's still going as if new. It takes beyond exceptional photos and is certainly better than most point and shoots... Read full review »

Pros Easy to Use, Excellent Picture Quality, Quality Construction
Cons Short Battery Life, Bulky, Heavy
Recommended it? Yes

I use this camera at home. It is pretty easy to use, you can use it as a manual or on auto. It is hard to take out with you, because it is big and bulky. It does seem to have a short battery life as well. Other than that it takes great pictures and it is great for a beginner.  Read full review »

This is a great, quality camera for an amateur photographer.  It has lots of presets, but you can also choose to adjust the shutter speed and aperature yourself.

Pros Easy to Use, Excellent Picture Quality, Great Design

For a dslr it's really basic, but it's great for beginners. Having learned on a classic film slr camera, I sometimes found that I couldn't manipulate the d40 as well as I would have liked. Also, I don't know what it is but sometimes the AF doesn't work right and it's really irritating. However,... Read full review »

I've only had it for a week but I simply love it. Easy to shoot in Auto modes - nearly a "point and shoot", but with excellent optics and picture resolution. The 18 to 55 mm lens is a very good range for casual shooting, but I have the 55 to 200 mm lens on order for more distance. Search as I can,... Read full review »

I wanted to take better quality pictures and I bought the right camera!  The D40 takes excellent, clear pictures, even on the auto settings.  Easy to use for beginners.  A little heavy, but most DSLR's are, right?  Wish it had a video feature like the newer Nikon's. Read full review »

Skip purchasing the new Nikon D3000, which replaced the D40, and just go online or to your photo store and find an old stock D40.  The D40 is superior at higher ISO, with the 3000 generating more noise at the higer ISO levels, most notably at 800 and 1600.
