Is this camera for real?

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... Read full review »

Nikon sells a D200 for $700 less!

bysailingshot Sep 5, 2006
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 12 Comments
Pros Same RAW quality, better JPEGs than D200 for 700 dollars less!Beautiful finder as well.
Cons A bit small without optional grip, "only" 3FPS, no metering of manual lenses
Recommended it? Yes

This is my UPDATED review of the D80. Sadly, some members gave me a "somewhat helpful" rating which made this review only "somewhat viewable." This happened even though I clearly said it was a bit of a teaser until I could give a more comprehensive review. It seems that some folks on Epinions are... Read full review »

On par or better than the competition

Pros Compact body, bright and large viewfinder, easy to use, decent low-light performance
Cons Matrix Metering *different* than other Nikons like D70s or D200
Recommended it? Yes

EDIT 7/13/2007. I've learned some more since I wrote this review, particularly in terms of noise performance of the current Nikon offerings. Most sites will show JPG noise performance out of camera in default settings. When compared this way, the best to worst are D40x, D40, D50, D80, D200, D70s,... Read full review »

Sorry nikonians or nikonistas or whatever your name is, but if you are a professional photographer this review is not for you, and neither probably the camera

In the summer of 1998, I worked as a camp counselor at St. Matthews in Brooklyn, with kids ages 4 through 7 years of age. It was great experience and one that built my desire to work with children in my future.

During one of my lunch breaks, I walked over to Staples, which was not too far... Read full review »

Pros Light,Small,great for beginners especially.Great second body too.
Cons Auto focus with AF-S and AF-I lenses only. Half step ISO,limited functionality for...
Recommended it? Yes

Firstly this is the camera replacement for the venerable D50. Primed before release to be called the "D60" Nikon decided instead on the "D40" name.

Accordingly announced on November16,2006, it steps up to the plate to go squarely against the Canon XT. This pint size DSLR has been a great... Read full review »

Big click, little buck.

Pros Light. Quick. Inexpensive. Quality and quantity that won't break the bank.
Cons Light. No top LCD. Small frame. Almost obsolete thanks to D40x.
Recommended it? Yes

I've been shooting with my D40 for about a month now and I have to say I'm not as disappointed as I thought I'd be. Sounds weird saying it like that, but I was planning on getting the D80. When I settled for the D40 I was afraid I'd be settling too much. I was wrong.

The D40 is a great... Read full review »

Nikon D80 ...a new standard!

15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Top quality and a good price
Cons uses a different memory card from the previous D70 model. Bummer.
Recommended it? Yes

As a professional photographer, I tend to use a lot of cameras. The Nikon D80 is a superb creation and a big step up from the D70(which is a great camera in itself).

The D80 body is actually lighter than the D70! That is wonderful if you are carrying it around all day. It's a very solid... Read full review »

I consider myself an avid photographer. My main interest in photography are people, landscapes, and travel. I was into film SLRs but I gravitated towards the more sophisticated point and shoot cameras for the convenience. I finally came back to a digital SLR with... Read full review »
