Summary: Excellent DSLR for the serious amatuer.
Comment: I've had this camera for three weeks and I absolutely love it. Excellent price from Amazon and I got a great refurbished 55-200mm VR teleophoto lens to supplement the kit lens. With what I saved on the camera I can continue to buy Nikkor lenses to give myself a full range of photographic tools.

Summary: Great Picture Quality
Comment: I can't believe my eyes that a SLR with less that $500.00 price can be so good. I bought it just three days and I love this. I take it where ever I go and the pictures comes great. I used mostly P/S/A and some times manual. And the picture quality is awesome. I was testing it tonight with almost no light at my room. I used tripod and the picture quality is like I taken it in a well-lit room. I am not professional or great photographer but I like to travel and like to take good pictures. And I think this is so far the best Camera for this price range. I was almost going to buy Nikon D80 but after reading lot of reviews I decided to try this and I am glad I decided to buy this camera. It saved my 400 $ and I can buy the 55-200VR lance with half of that price.

Summary: Great Camera for the Price
Comment: I paid $480 for the D40 with an 18-55mm kit lens. For the price, this is a great DSLR ample storage, battery life, and speed. However the kit lens is very basic and doesn't have vibration reduction. I will need to add better lenses to really take advantage of this camera. If I had it to do over I would probably spend a little extra and go with the D60 and some better lenses.

Summary: I just love my Nikon D40!
Comment: I have had my Nikon D40 since Nov of 2007 and I've been snappin away ever since. This is my first DSLR and I don't see why anyone would need anything more expensive. I find the pictures are super and the functions are easy to understand and use. The menu is easy and if you don't know how to use or what certain feature in the menu means, you hit the ?/ question button at the bottom of the camera while you are in menu mode and it tells you what you need to know. A built in maual! What a great thing. It's helped me out a lot. There are so many more great things. One thing I can say that it does not have a live view of your image you are about to shoot but you get used to not having it. It is super easy to view it afterwards. Going back and forth from a shot phtot to the ready to shoot mode is quick and easy. Lens swapping is a breeze. Always keep handy a special lint and scratch or abrasive free cleaning cloth that is designed for lenses so you can keep your lens fingerprint and lint free. Always buy a UV fiter for each lens you buy and pay attention to your lens thread for buying the right filters. UV filters will protect your lenses from damaging fingerprints and scratches. Keep caps on when you are not using your camera. Protection Protection!!!
I find this camrea is a great camera for someone who is starting out in the Digital SLR phase of their lives.
You will find yourself buying more lenses. I use a Tarmon 300 mm lens made for the NIkon D40. http://www.tamron.com/lenses/prod/70300_di_a017.asp
Check out the product info. This lens is inexpensive and works fairly well.
THe kit lens 18- 55 mm lens is baisc but the photos are sharp.
If it is made by Nikon, its got to be great!
Happy Camper!
