    Nice to see a reasonably priced SLR… however…

    I’ve shot pro for years, have/had 5 Nikons. What I miss are the aperture rings. If I had to shoot food, for example, with my 200 asa film I know that I could shoot a 60th of a sec with a f/5.6 and get a certain result. Sometimes I want everything in the back out of focus. F2. Easy. Now, I have to fuss with settings that won’t give me exactly the result I want. Great for the snap shooter, bad for the pro. Why not aperture rings? Or aperture numbers inside the screen?

    Cheap feel, too slow and the lack of a aperture and shutterspeed knob or wheel made it impossible for me to use. I sent it back I want to get a more professional camera.

    Horrible camera. I have earned the right to say that after 35 years in photography starting with my education at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, etc. I have owned Leica, Minolta, Pentax and Nikon 35mm systems.

    This is a camera system for persons who wish to look like professionals by hanging a big fancy Nikon on their neck with the yellow NIKON logo blazing on the neck strap. This is an entry level *ego camera*.

    It is a great point-and-shoot camera in daylight for average people. That would be those who set to automatic and that is all they ever do.

    In automatic this will take great snapshots. But that is it. The 18-55mm lens is so cheap you can “buy-it-now” for $10 on eBay. It weighs about as much as a cardboard tube. Has a tiny set of optics the diameter of your finger in it. Real garbage.

    Want to do macro shots? Forget it! No macro mode as found on other systems. Buy a macro lens? The only AF-S compatible Nikon macro is $780. That nice 60mm macro for $360 is NOT compatible!

    You cannot use the LCD as the viewfinder. Nikon tech support told me this is only available on the $1700 model! That one feature, without going into a long explanation, is a deal breaker. One of the main advantages of a digital camera is to free yourself from the little viewfinder peep hole.

    Cheap lens, no macro mode, no LCD view, terrible instruction manual, only 6 mega pixel, no image stabilization…what is to like at all?

    I returned mine after suffering for 3-weeks and bought a 10MP camera with live view, macro mode, image stabilization, professional quality optics, along with an operating booklet that won’t drive me mad.

    But, if you have to impress people with the iconic NIKON camera this is the cheapest way you can do it. Leave it on “Automatic” and never bother to attempt the results professionals can achieve. Look at the user submitted photos on Amazon. If you think those are acceptable photos you’ll be happy with the D40. You won’t know what you’re missing.

    The new D40 I bought from Amazon broke within the first month! An error with the shutter release button (yes the button you press to take a picture only lasted about 200 photo’s!). I have years of experience with SLR’s so I was pretty shocked that it broke so quickly. I am writing this angry review because I am one week into a two month trip though India and Nepal and service centers are not really available. Don’t count on Nikon for help. Buy a Canon!
