Is this camera for real?

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 2006
The Bottom Line: For the absolute beginner or someone who wants more features than those in a point and shoot.
Review: 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,...

The dSLR that thinks it's a point and shoot

Date of Review:  Apr 15, 2007
The Bottom Line: I recommend this for it's ease of use and outstanding image quality. It's lightweight and looks good too!
Review:
BEFORE WE BEGIN

There are a lot of reviews on the web for the Nikon D40 and I will list some of the sites I recommend at the end of my review. Most of these reviews come from the perspective of a professional photographer and...

Nikon sells a D200 for $700 less!

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2006
The Bottom Line: For most folks (they might not want to admit it!), the D80 is more camera than they'll ever need and then some.
Review: 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...

Really nice photos in an easy to use machine.

Date of Review:  Dec 28, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you are asking yourself if there is something better than the last point and shoot you bought, buy this camera and more photo albums!
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

I always used point a shoot cameras, for my family s trips, parties and some...

On par or better than the competition

Date of Review:  Apr 30, 2007
The Bottom Line: D80 is probably the best offering Nikon has at the moment, dollar for dollar. D40 and D200 are next (below and above it). Matrix Metering and ISO1600 notwithstanding, great camera!
Review: 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...

Small, and easy, and just too fun to use, the Nikon D40.

Date of Review:  Jul 1, 2007
The Bottom Line: This Nikon is important to anyone looking for a great starter/basic DSLR. Canon's Xt has now got some great competition, and that makes it better for everyone.
Review: 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...

Nikon D80 ...a new standard!

Date of Review:  Sep 21, 2006
The Bottom Line: Get it! No question, the best bargain on high quality.
Review: 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...

HP PhotoSmart 2575 All-In-One InkJet Printer

Date of Review:  Jul 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: Print, copy and fax in style. The HP PhotoSmart All-In-One Printer is not just a printer, it's an office necessity.
Review: 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...

Big click, little buck.

Date of Review:  Apr 11, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you don't already have a dSLR, buy this camera. Body and lens for under $600.
Review: 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...

A D200 in a D50 body - all for under a grand!

Date of Review:  Sep 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended. Nikon borrowed extensively from the D200 parts bin to come up with a lot of camera for less than $1000.
Review: Introduction and background
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...
