Nikon D40 Reviews

I got this camera for my 18th birthday and fell in love with it. It is such a great little camera as an introduction to digital photography and the use of SLRs. It is easy to use, with the option to take complete control of aperture and shutter speed when getting more advanced, or simply using the auto mode when simply wanting to point ...  Read the complete review

INTRO - HOW WE MET.... I got this camera in 2007 when I was starting to get into photography. 5 years down the line it has survived 2 student houses and an art degree and is still going strong. And it is the item I would dash back into a burning house for! WHAT THE HECK IS IT? Nikon D40 SLR camera - I've often ...  Read the complete review

I bought my Nikon D40 second hand from a friend after he'd had it for just 6 months and came into some money so wanted to upgrade to a better camera. I managed to get it from him for just over £100 but I would gladly pay at least (if not more than) double that for this camera. It's a brilliant and versatile camera that I can take ...  Read the complete review

After using this camera myself for a number of years I have found it to be reliable and to produce photographs of a good quality. At first, it can be a little confusing with all the buttons and options available but after reading the manual I was able to operate most of the camera. I particularly like the function where you can take a ...  Read the complete review

Nikon D40 Camera I had wanted a new camera for a while; a 'big black camera' as I had always called them as, although I am certainly no professional, I do like taking photos. I did not have the money spare at the time and so felt extremely lucky to be given this camera from my mother-in-law as she had recently updated ...  Read the complete review

I've owned this camera for 4 years it was my first venture into digital SLRs. After years of using film SLR cameras my Nikon F90 developed a fault which was going to cost too much to repair so I finally had to accept it was time to give in and go digital. Although I had owned a point and shoot digital camera I hadn't seen the point of ...  Read the complete review

I have had my Nikon D40 DSLR camera now for around two years. It is my first venture into the world of ore advanced digital cameras and I have to say, I have been extremely satisfied with it. I bought the body with a lense in a set, so I didn't need to worry about which lense to choose for it. Once I had charged the battery ...  Read the complete review

I use to enjoy my photography when I was a lad at school many years ago, and used a cannon AE-1 SLR which gave me many years of enjoyable film photography. Then 4yrs ago I decided to get back into photography in my spare time, and started looking for DSLR. I picked up a copy of Which Magazine and started researching DSLR ...  Read the complete review

As a photographer, SLR's are very important to me. A camera must be easy to use, and if not easy to use, at least easy to learn to use. I have had my D40 for almost three years now, and I love it. It's a lot more simple to use than a lot of the other Nikon's I have used. For example, the menu alone is a lot easier to navigate, ...  Read the complete review

I bought my D40 from Currys with £195 when the production terminated in summer 2009. Awesome price and perfect for beginners to photography who want to explore SLR and are unsure about the risk of losing interest and end up wasting the money spent on expensive higher-range gears. The only down side is that it's a 6MP camera (so no large ...  Read the complete review

I'll start off by saying that I bought this for my husband, about 18 months ago. He's the photographer in the family, not me and he was the one who really wanted to take a better interest and this was recommended as a good beginners SLR. This review is therefore from a part time, but enthusiastic user, as this has very much become a ...  Read the complete review

I bought my Nikon D40 as I wanted to get into photography with a DSLR but I didn't want to spend to much money in case I didn't really follow through with it. I'm glad I took the plunge as the D40 is capable of producing fantastic images. I use my D40 almost every day now. Mostly I use for taking photographs of my baby son. ...  Read the complete review

I have very bad date with Samsung E15 for a start with dSLRs and to be true my whole idea of using DSLRs was jolted. But I thought since professionals' use dSLRs there is nothing to loose heart and it also taught me that good things don't come cheap. I decided to for good entry level dSLR and one of m friends suggested me Nikon D40 and I ...  Read the complete review

After having my first baby, i realised that my old camera just didn't cater for an active baby that wouldn't willingly sit still for photos!! I wanted to capture her first precious milestones - first smiles etc but each photo came out blurred because she would move before the photo had taken, it was so slow. I did some research and ...  Read the complete review

Don't be put off by the fact that this camera is 6.1MP and some of the others look better. Several of the higher range Nikons have more MP but the same size sensor, so you aren't getting much of an improvement (if any) for your extra MP. I bought this camera earlier this year as my first venture into DSLR (although I had a ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this camera as my first step into SLR's and I can say I have not regretted it for a minute. The only thing I regret is I don't get to use it enough! It has incredibly quick start up. From flicking the switch to 'on' to taking a photo is 2 seconds maximum which allows you to never miss a good ...  Read the complete review
