Nikon D40 Digital Camera with 18-55mm Lens

Pros: Compact, lightweight and under $1,000.
Cons: Use of SD instead of CF cards.

To anyone interested in photography, especially DIGITAL imaging, it is quite obvious that the Megapixel War continues and that the two baddest guys on the block, Nikon and Canon continue to do battle. That battle, for the hearts and minds of ...

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

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 ...

Pros: allows you to come up with exactly the shot you want easily
Cons: no mirror lock up, bundled software is worthless

We decided it was time to get a digital SLR (single lens reflex) camera, and after considerable research my husband decided on the Nikon D80. The camera set he purchased at Best Buy included an 18-135mm lens. We've owned the camera for almost 6 ...

Pros: Color Display Screen is a cool feature.
Cons: Sometimes it doesn't respond.

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 ...

Pros: Great ergonomics, great image quality!
Cons: No mirror lockup.

I have been a Nikon camera user for a very long time, starting with a Nikon FE (a manual 35 mm body) my father gave me in 1984. The Nikon FE, combined with a Nikon 50 mm f/1.4 lens, served me well until the middle of 2004, when I acquired a Nikon D70 ...

Pros: Nice looking printer. Small footprint on desk.
Cons: A bit noisy.

I don’t know about you, but for me shopping for a new printer can be a stressful, confusing experience. I found myself standing among several rows of counters filled with printers of nearly every size and conceivable function. Hewlett-Packard printers ...

Pros: Easy to use for entry level dSLR user, lens kit included, much more
Cons: D40 is bare bones for dSLR, but has the stuff for any entry level enthusiast.

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 professional ...

Pros: A HUGE upgrade vs. the D70. Great price/performance ratio
Cons: lack of electronic shutter for faster flash synch

I have to say that the release of the D80 didn't really make a huge splash on the camera scene. I think that's pretty sad because the D80 is not only a worthy successor to the D70 but I strongly feel that it's the first DSLR good enough to be your LAST ...

Pros: Incredible feature set for the price: 10.2MP, instant start-up, fast 0.8ms shutter response and more!
Cons: Grip might be too small for some, Nikon Capture is extra.

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 ...

Pros: Very attractive, Beautiful print quality, Easy-to-use, Economical Ink, Canon reputation.
Cons: Small display, Only one paper tray, shows dust.

We were recently in the market for a new printer after several years of a black & white HP laser printer that had terrible feeding problems. Prior to the laser, I had had an early Canon bubblejet printer. I hadn't been too impressed with that inkjet, ...

Pros: Scanner, Copier, Fax, & borderless printing
Cons: No fax, noisy...

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

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 ...

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 experienced.

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 ...

Pros: Quality, size, photos, price, etc, etc
Cons: You'll love it so much, that your next purchase will be a new Hard Drive.

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 other stuff. I ...

Pros: Dedicated ISO/WB buttons, better diopter
Cons: Same metering issues as D40

I've been using the D40 for about a year and a half now, and have been getting some great images with the 18-200mm VR lens. Six megapixels are plenty for the size of prints I make, but I wanted a bit more cropping flexibility and still retain a near-300 ...
