I bought this Nikon camera when I could no longer stand my small digital camera missing all the "good" shots of our 3 kids! Now, I just stand back and can catch every smile and precious moment without the delay that previous camera had.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

Went on vacation in the islands, never had so much fun taking pictures!! It's an AWESOME camera that makes you feel like a professional from the moment you use it!

I have kids that run around and won't stay still long enough to take a decent picture, well with the D40 this isn't a problem because the shutter speed is so fast, that it catches them in the pose I wanted them in.

I just absolutely LOVE this camera and it is a very good starter camera if photography is something you would like to get into!

After letting some of my friends try it that are photo enthousiasts like I am, they are completely sold on the idea of getting one of their own!! Get it, you will NOT be disappointed!

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

My favorite discovery was the continuous shutter -hold the button down and it keeps shooting! I had to have a separate heavy attachment on my old 35mm for this option!
The camera is lighter than it looks.
Has a great help button to remind you what the different features do.

I am a first time user of an SLR camera and I really love it! I take a lot of pics of my toddler so I like that it has a fast shutter speed. This camera is very easy to use, it is a little bigger and heavier than what I'm used to but still a very nice camera!!

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

As a starting up photographer, this is a very good camera to use. It's light weight, to-the-point function menu, very well located buttons.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

I have been looking at this camera for years and chose to purchase the D40 still even with all the newer models out there. I have not regretted my decision for a moment. This camera is amazing!

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

Not a bad camera, and it's no wonder that it is so popular. But the colors in auto mode are way too saturated and even when de-saturated in custom mode are not accurate. White balance, indoors and out, is atrocious. (A Lumix point-and-shoot results in far better color and white balance.) A good camera for what it is, but it's frustrating for me to use.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

The camera takes beautiful pictures in varying light conditions. For the price this camera is a must have for the casual shutter-bug.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

I'll use this camera for hobby, family, verification and general photography. It's a good value, easy to use and loads of fun.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

This camera is great! It makes shooting pictures of my 2 young children easy. Due to the rapid fire photo ability, I don't have to sweat the kids moving or smiling at different times. I can take lots of candid shots & it is fast enough to catch the one special shot I always missed in the past with other cameras. This camera was definitely worth the money.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

Its great for DSLR begginers, who wish to explore phtotography, who wish to do more than just click photos.
It is easy to use and its advance functions are easy to learn.
It is a great tool to experiment photography.
Above all, its cost is nothing compared to its qualities and has value for price.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

Used the camera on two outdoor shoots shooting slow shutter speeds with and without tripod. Great results every time. Pop up flash gives good exzposure, better than the higher end D80.

Really great for those who want to learn digital photography and want to start with the best camera that will let you do it. You can buy a very expensive one but then camera will think for you and you'll never learn.

This is a great product for someone just getting into digital photography. Great features for a great price. Pictures are not even comparable to those taken with a regular digital camera.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

Very easy to use in automatic mode. I shoot landscapes and portraits with it, and it allows me to concentrate on composition without worrying much about exposures and settings. It's so good, my daughter-in-law kept borrowing it, so I finally bought her one...

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

This is the best camera ever! It's easy to use and portable. This takes clear, quality prints. It's a perfect camera for everyday use, or something special like taking photos at a wedding. We used to take our kids to get professional pics done at a studio, now we no longer need to spend that money and can take them at home or outdoors where it's much more convient!

I did alot of reserch between the entry lvl nikons and cannons. talked to alot of people and they all wish they started out with the D40, or save up money and get the D90. No need to waste more money in the in between models. The d40 is great and nikon really did change the industry with this lil gem. The kit lens is great to take up close, wide shots. The 55-200 VR is a great lens to take outside on trips. I didnt want to spend $$$ a 18-200mm when the 55-200 is really great. I rather spend that money and get a good micro lens.

after owning the camera for over a year i may say that some of the people that write negative comments about the camera simply just dont know how to use it. some write about the picture bliking and not knowing why its just over exposed and its in the highlight mode, its quite simple i have no regrets. its a great buy. and like everything it takes practice to get used to.

I use this for sports and taking pictures of my grandchildren. This camera is so easy to use. I love it compared to my old "point and shoot." The quality of the finished product is unbeleivable..I have converted several of my friends to Nikon who have been die hard fans of the Canon and Sony. Seeing is believing..Give it a try and see what I mean..You'll love it.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

I use this camera to take photos from portraits to outdoor landscapes. There really isn't anything I've not photographed with it. This camera performs so much better than a non-dslr camera. It was a toss-up about the cost of a dslr. I never really though I'd want to spend the money on one. But after using one of my friends Rebel xti the search for a dslr that was cost effective began. It ended with the purchase of the D40, and I've never been happier.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

I bought one in 2008 for my daughter. She was so thrilled, and loved it so much, I bought another one recently for our daughter-in-law. The pictures are beautiful and so natural compared to "studio" photos. Both of them love how easy it is to use, and the quality and clarity of the photos.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

After reading some professional advise from Ken Rockwell website (very useful website), I understand why mega pixels are not important in the purchase of a digital camera if you don't require a printed out picture larger than 20" X 30" (We all rarely do). I went a head and purchased the D-40 with the 2 lenses kit [...] I took over a thousands pictures for this vacation and did not realize how nice the pictures came out until I loaded them into our computer after came back from the trip. Compare to many of my P&S digital cameras before (I replaced one every 6-12 months due to lost or broken), the pictures came from the D-40 camera are much better in colors and the details are exceptional. Now I can see more of the background details with vivid colors and believe it or not, I did not even have one bad picture taken during the trip compared to at least 10-20 bad pictures taken before from my PS cameras. Now I will save my money for the D90 for more serious occasion. The D-40 is a perfect camera for vacation and just go out to have fun. Highly recommended !

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

I've been using this camera for about 2 weeks now and have taken many very nice photos. Fairly easy to use and learn. My only difficulty has been taking Basketball action photos indoors in the gym. The flash seems a little weak, and trying to use the sports mode resulted in blurring due to the low indoor light and the shutter slowing down excessively. My best luck has been with increasing the ISO sensitivity to 800 or 1600 and manually increasing shutter speed to 250 or more. The photos pick up a slight graininess, but the action is great. Camera response is very good and continuous mode gives me about 2.5 frames per second. Very good lightweight camera for the price.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

My old camera had gotten really slow and I was missing so many great moments with my kids. We purchased this camera because we knew it would capture all of the moments we had been missing with our kids - and it DOES!!! The flash recharges so quickly that I hardly miss a photo op! The downside is that my kids can't see my face while I use the viewfinder (this is my first SLR). We're having a period of adjustment as they get used to the camera. They are slowly getting past the need to inspect it and I am getting some GREAT picutures. One downside is I don't think it takes video (if it does, I haven't figured it out yet), which is a bummer, but worth sacrificing for the speed and quality. It's also rather bulky, but that comes with the territory with an SLR. Overall, as a mom of 2 quick kids, I am in love with my new camera!

I am pleased with the camera and the quality of the photos. My 12 and 14 year olds have no problem taking excellent photos. My photos could be better, I think I shake a little. I only wish I had purchased the package with the 55-200 VR lens. I find that taking sports photos, I need a bigger lens and the VR would help. Overall very happy.

This product is great for all quick and professional photography needs. image stabilizer is in the lenses though. this makes lenses more pricey but reduces the size of the camera itself.

It offers great value, very user friendly controls, excellent LCD size,steady focus and amazing photo quality! This camera is responsible for my renewed passion in photography.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

I use this mostly for nature closeups and portraiture. It's not the best for large landscapes, but the images are still very good. The in-camera editing tools are very useful, and there are many options for photo quality so you can go from art photography to casual picture taking in no time. If you don't use flash in low light, it can be difficult to focus or the autofocus just won't let you focus at all. Overall though, well worth the money. I highly recommend it for photographers who want to take the first step to going pro, a decent DSLR camera is hard to find at a better price. I'm still in high school and I'm being hired for photography jobs with this camera. :)

I just got this camera a few weeks ago, so I'm still getting to know the features and how everything works. So far, it's great. I spent a lot of time comparing the Canon and Nikon entry level SLRs, and Nikon seemed to have just a bit of an edge. My favorite thing so far is how quickly the camera captures photos. Our 22 month old daughter moves quickly, and I'm finally capturing a lot of shots that I couldn't before.

We love to take pictures of our 4 grandchildren. We had been using our sony point and shoot camera, but we missed so many great shorts of kids while waiting for the camera to recover from the last shot. With the D40 we no longer have to endure that delay. Whey you are ready to shoot, there is no waiting.

I upgraded from a Fujifilm Finepix 10MP and I have no regrets. There was a bit of concern about the number of megapixels but not all megapixels are created equal! I am very happy with the quality of the shots and would not hesitate to recommend this camera.

The DVDs included were very helpful as this is my first SLR, and the price just couldn't be beat.

The negatives include the LCD issue as well as the camera strap (a bit too clumsy for my taste) and the camera bag (while free and much appreciated, is awkward to use).

You cannot go wrong with this camera and the freebies. Happy shooting!

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

This camera was a great starter for me. But, I have since outgrown it and plan to invest in a d300 soon. Although, with my new SB-800 flash, I have seen a big difference in overall quality.

I wouldn't suggest this camera to anyone who plans on upgrading in the future because it has little flexibility and it would be better to just start out with the d-90... or d-80 if you want a little cheaper body.

Also, the camera is too small for me to handle comfortably. If anyone out there has big hands, consider a bigger camera for more stability.

One more thing, the kit lens is the slowest i've used, and the autofocus is like molasses.

I'm just stepping up to the world of SLRs, and the Nikon D40 is very well suited to my needs (and budget). Everything can be automatic, or everything can be manual, so it allows me to learn.

I don't have experience with other cameras, but I'm happy with what I bought.

I manufacture accessory kits for trucks. I use the Nikon to take step by step installation picture aids.
I bought number 1 last year for my daughter; she has taken a little over 18,000 pictures - mostly kids in the last year. The pictures were so clear I bought one for myself, then her mother bought a third D40.

Shutter is fast and with continous shooting it is even better. All of the functions of this camera are easy to learn and use. 8 gig card holds about 4200 pictures at normal resolution. Nikkor lens prouduce excellent quality printed photos. Highly recommend this camera to those wanting to step up to DSLR.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

Super easy to use and the camera and supporting documents and the DVDs make the learning curve very short for the D40. You cannot be intimidated by this product, and it takes terrific pictures. The zoom lens is an added bonus to this outfit especdially for those of us who shoot lots of nature and animal pictures. I highly recommend this for anyone getting started with an SLR camera.

As I enter in the world of DSLR the D40 is going to be great tutorial. I have upgraded from a point and shoot EASY SHARE to the mighty impressive Nikon D40. I literally searched the internet and made phone calls for 2 months on many a camera. The D40 was the #1 recommended camera for beginners like me!

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

This is my second digital SLR, first being a Canon Rebel that I traded in. The Nikon picture quality is MUCH better. The pictures just seem brighter and crisper. My canon pics were always dark and had to be lightened on the computer. It also seems of much better construction than my Canon. I could not be happier. I think it is well worth the money. I have small children and don't have time to wait for a picture to take on the regular digital cameras - so it is well worth the money to capture everything so quickly with a digital SLR.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

I use the Nikon D40 to take pictures of interesting places and things. It is almost impossible to take a bad pictures in auto mode. There is enough bell and whistles on this camera to learn to take professional pictures.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

This is a great starter camera. It's not diffcult to learn to use, unlike other DSLRs. It takes amazing portraits. I've dropped it several times and it's withstood each drop. I'm greatful for that. It's great for almost anything. And it's almost as light as a point and shoot. What's more to ask for?

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

instead of the dvds it should have come with filters UV & CPL and the NIKON ML-L3 REMOTE.

I have used a manual 35mm Minolta for years as a photographer. My dad bought this camera and I fell in love with it. I love how great it is for the cost. I love the fact that it can switch from manual to automatic mode. It is wonderful for the work I do and for taking pictures of my two children. It is extremely hard to take a bad picture with this camera!!!!!

I bought this camera for vacation trips. I saw sample pictures of the D40 and just had to get it. It's perfect because it is not heavy, takes superb pictures (for a beginner, like myself), and the starter lens (18 - 55) was a great start.

Bang for the buck camera!

this is a great jump from point and shoot camera but the price is about the same from a higher function zoom point and shoot camera.
I have no digital SRL experience but i owned several point and shoot. this id a Thoroughbred compared to the miniature horses i owned before.
very satisfied.

My wife and I wanted to get a good camera to be able to capture everything that happens in life. She is into scrap booking and wants to have documentation of all that we do. I am new to DSLR's and this was a great price and is making it easy to get into manual exposure. I love just messing around with different settings.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

This is my first Digital SLR and it has been great. I have been out of the photography hobby for awhile and this kit has gotten me back into the swing of things. It is very easy to use and very easy to use manual modes. it takes excellent pictures. It is lightweight and fits the hand very well. It seems to be very rugged however I haven't dropped it yet. Don't plan on it either.

overall its a greatly priced DSLR that should last me a while. Only things that might change is the fact that I will eventually want an internal motor for AF lenses inside the body. My 50mm lense does not AF with the D40 because no internal motor.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

I use the camera to take portrait and scenery pictures. it gives you the controls to make the perfect picture.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

I use this camera as a beginning SLR to learn digital photography. I take it on trips since it is not so expensive that if it is broken or stolen I will have huge heartburn about it. The same features that are the great things about it are strangely enough, the same that are a weakness. It is great out of the box in auto mode; however when you start getting into all the features it is a bit overwhelming. I suppose a D200 or D80 would be worse in terms of the number of features. If you are used to a point and shoot, non SLR digital camera, you will like this one but it will take a bit of time to learn to use all the different functions to their capabilities. If you don't want to take the time, then by all means this is a great camera out of the box used in auto mode. You will want to note that you can't use the LCD to frame the photos, they are taken using the viewfinder. All in all, I would recommend this to friends. You could spend more money getting more features most users will not use anyway or use that money to buy additional lenses and accessories

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

This camera takes really beautiful photos, but is just so large and cumbersome, it really has to be a special event for me to use it. It has a bit of a learning curve, so you definitely need to play around with it before taking it on that big trip. I can't figure out how to change the display so I can use the LCD to frame my shot instead of the viewfinder. Overall, it's not a very intuitive camera if you are used to the point and shoots.

Wow! This was our first purchase of a Digital SLR, after shooting for years with a digital point&shoot and a Pentax film SLR. It's so much fun, I can't stand it. This camera knows what to do. I'm making images that are ready for publishing. Just amazing. Don't spend more.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

This camera is almost idiot proof. You just have to learn how to turn on and shoot. The instruction manual is a little imposing; however,
this is a learning process. Time is on your side.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

My hubby got this for me a year ago for my birthday, knowing that I wanted to graduate from the regular digital cameras primarily because of lag time issues. I've since experienced the higher end DSLR's and I can tell you that for an entry level product, this D40 is pretty amazing (and still a favorite). The size and shape of the camera and its controls are easy enough to handle. You get photos with colors that are rich and the images super sharp. It's a great learning tool for those of us who want to go beyond photography as "just a hobby". I've bought other lenses and filters and have produced images even without these accessories that you'd think were shot with pro cameras.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

This was my first SLR, and it sold me forever on the Nikon brand. I am currently looking to upgrade to the D90 as I become a little more serious, but this is the perfect starter SLR. I've learned a lot about photography with this camera. Note that it does not have a focusing motor in the body, this means you will have to manually focus any lens other than the AF-S lenses.

Good Stuff: Easy menus, long battery life, quality built body, good kit lens, seems to snap off pictures at a pretty good rate (as fast as I can press the shutter), histogram overlay, just all around easy to use.

Bad Stuff: Sometimes is a bit frustrating to dig through menus just to change White Balance, Metering, or some other setting. Especially if you are in a situation where you need to change it rapidly. Other than that, there is nothing too bad about this great camera.

Buy it now!

I have four kids and I use this camera on a DAILY basis! It has great focus and I capture any photo I want. We all know how hard it is to caputure prints of children in motion, but the Nikkon D40 stops motion and gets just the right picture. I love the continual picture setting. It is almost like getting "still video". I also teach and take my camera to school and us the pictures to make slideshows for my students at the end of the year. It is hard to get good shots in the school light or gym with other camera, but not the Nikkon D40! My camera is literally my 5th child. I get many compliments on my photos and many, many questions on my camera! I never have a negative thing to say about my Nikkon D40! It is wonderful!

Comments about Nikon Nikon D40 DSLR w/18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens:

6.1 MP is enough for 8" x 10" quality prints. Landscapes and closeups of wildflowers is what I use the 18 - 55 mm lens for. Combined with the D40 it take great pictures.

I used film SLR cameras for 30 years but got away from them to point and shoot digital. The D40 brings together everything I missed from the SLR with the advantages of digital. The controls are easy to understand and use. The pictures are sharp under a varity of conditions. The battery life far exceeds anything I expected.

I have yet to explore all the options it has, however I have used this indoors and out for various reasons (we recently moved) such as documenting our move. I look forward to exploring more of the options as time permits. I have dropped the camera once on a wooden floor and it didn't seem to phase it. Hopefully it will remain this durable

This camera is great!!!! I first purchased a D60 but was not happy with the sound that it made [...] This camera is quiet and takes very nice quality pictures.

Great body/lens combo. I use the camera for vacation pix as well as parties and sporting activities. Some reviews I read complained about only having three focus areas, but that doesnt bother me at all as a casual enthusiast. Also, 6 MP is all you really need unless you are a pro. This is my first SLR (to own, not to use) and I have been completely satisfied (and the envy of my friends)!

I have been taking pictures for most of my 77 years, with everything from very expensive to throw away cameras. My Nikon D40 immediately produced the best pictues I have ever taken. They are clearly in focus, the color is superb in whatever light I worked, the camera seeming to adjust itself to the surroundings, and was simple to operate. Our 50th anniversary trip to Hawaii produced the best vacation pictures we have ever had and I did not even read the manual before jumping in. I just wish I had it for the many years before where the good picture was more the rarity, not the rule. What you see is truly what you get, sometimes even better than you see it!

One of the best digital cameras I ever owned.

An excellent beginner DSLR. I bought this for my wife to begin amatuer photography and take photography classes, and she absolutely loves it. A fantastic way to move from point-and-shoot, and very reasonably priced.

The included 18-55mm lens works great for starting out, and in certain closer conditions, but the 50-200mm that was included in the "deal" we got really makes a difference. The greater zoom helps with catching harder-to-get shots, like a breach on a whale watch - and the camera's exposure (even the auto-settings that are intended for beginners) are speedy enough to catch such quick events.

We're very happy with this camera, and someday I would not be surprised to be upgrading to a D80 or higher.

The camera has been a great family camera. I literally took over 1,000 pictures in the first month or so...I can't believe the detail and the focus...I got some great pics of my 3 and 5 year old on the "log ride" at Sea World.

This camera is perfect if you are going from digital to DSLR. It's very easy to operate, practically right out of the box ready and the pictures are outstanding. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone whether just getting started or professional.

The D40 DSLR is the easiest to use camera I ever owned. Great pictures every time, and the resolution is superb. If you are tired of playing with toys, and you are looking for a serious photographic instrument that will allow you to advance at a your own pace, a pace that won't overload you with choices and complications you don't understand, this is the right camera for you. Just as much a learning tool, this professional quality camera gives you the option of testing your skills without wasting valuable film and waiting days to see the results. I guess there may be other cameras that will equal the D40 someday, but today, as far as I am concerned, the D40 rules the roost.

I can take one shot after another so fast-really fast. It has been really great. I am trying to tak photos of hummigbirds- with my old camera it was too slow.

While I wish I could have afforded the D60, this one worked just as well; easy to use; just need time to learn all that it can do which is a great deal.

Even for those late night with little light, still got great pictures!

The QuickStart information got me taking pictures instantly. It was of great help. I have used the old SLR cameras for over 30 years and this D-40 Nikon is the best there is. I have never been able to purchase a Nikon but the opportunity presented itself and I did. I should have purchased a Nikon years ago but could not afford them. I have added to my collection the AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm lens. And it also is a superb piece of equipment. I feel very proud when I am out and about using my D-40 Nikon. I would recommend this camera to anybody who just wanted to take pictures or go semi pro. I purchased the camera from Ritz Camera where I met the most knowledgeable people about cameras. They know their business. If you're in the market for one of the best cameras in the world, the Nikon, Ritz Camera is the place to purchase it.

I use this for my "serious" efforts in photography - I also have a compact P&S for everyday. This camera is a delight; very easy to use, yet still has plenty of control for situations that demand such. I use it for travel, photo-documentation, record photos, nature photography, portraits, etc. One advantage not discussed much is its ISO speed - an extra stop on some of the competition. The "kit" zoom lens is also great - sharp, fast, with very little distortion or other artifacts.

I think it's a bargain.

This camera is wonderful! I had only limited experience with digital cameras but had learned that you can easily miss those cute grandchildren's smiles and expressions. Not with this camera! My first real test of the camera was at my 1-year old grandson's birthday party. I didn't miss a thing and all the photos came out great. Also used it at the beach and was able to catch the older grandchildren playing in the surf using the action shot feature. I took over 2000 photos during a 7 day stay at the beach (what can I say, I had all 8 grandchildren there with me). Great camera, you won't be disappointed!

I take pictures from my airplane of Homes and local businesses. I am able to get great detail and clarity with this camera.

This camera is a step up for me from a Nikon digital point and shoot. My favorite features are no lag time and the photo quality is high. I'm still learning and am now starting to play with the manual functions. It's a camera I can grow with. I stayed with Nikon because of the photo quality. As a hobbyist this may be all the camera I ever need.

I recently sold my point and shoot Canon SD1000 and decided to go SLR. Two things attracted me, one was the fact that I can continuously shoot without worrying about missing a shot, ie my son blowing out the candles on his cake, two was the fact that the camera auto blurs the background/foreground for you making your shot look very professional. I went ahead and purchased the wireless remote and that is one slick accessory. Its small and very ideal to use when taking self portraits of the family. I use this camera mainly for fun when going out with the kids and I probably have taken well over 5000 shots!I also want to mention that the battery life is pretty darn good! When out shooting after a full charge, I can snap away for 8 hours and the battery would still be full! If you are just making the switch and wanting to go SLR, I would definitely recommend the D40. [...]. Its like going from a PC to a Mac, you won't go back. The D40 IS pretty amazing.
