Nikon D40 Reviews

This is a great D-slr for those starting out in photography, as well as those who are a little more advanced. This was my first D-slr camera, and i still use it now at events and club nights when i don't want to take out my larger camera. This camera works well both under natural light and with use of its flash. It also has a flash ...  Read the complete review

The Nikon D40 is the entry level SLR camera in the D range. I used this camera last year for an NVQ college course and it was great for me as a beginner. The controls are very straight-forward and easy to pick up. I've used this camera at gigs and sporting events and it is very robust and durable. It's taken a few knocks and it still works ...  Read the complete review

For the price and as a starter kit this camera ticks all the right boxes. It's easy to use, attractive, lightweight, takes very good photographs and ultimately is kind on the wallet. It is essentially a great beginner's D-SLR camera. Now you may be thinking that at a cheap price and my reference to the Nikon D40 as a 'beginner's' camera, you will ...  Read the complete review

As an entry level Digital SLR camera, the D40 is a very attractive offer. Not only are you getting the camera body, but you are getting a lens in the kit. The 18-55mm af-s lens is a proffesional quality lens that creates a good building block on which to build your repertoire. With all Nikon products you can expect a certain level of quality, that ...  Read the complete review

I had my old Canon S70 stolen and decided to make the step up to a DSLR. I looked at mega-zoon or bridge cameras for ease of use, but you just couldn't get the control of a full on DSLR. I looked at all the Canon and Nikon alternatives and decided on the D40 for a number of reasons. Firstly, price was a big factor being significantly ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this camera at a very good price when I was looking to first start photgraphy. I went for the Digital SLR (single lens reflex) so I had more functions and properties that I was able to change myself. For an entry level photographer, I would say it is perfect. With 6.1 megapixels it has a good range for what the beginner will ...  Read the complete review

Like most buyers of this camera, it was my first digital SLR. I was slightly nervous because of what seemed like a very low resolution (6.1 Mega Pixels). Since it was the only digital SLR I could afford though I decided to go ahead and buy. I have never regretted it! Okay, it's lower resolution than many of it's competitors but I guess ...  Read the complete review

I had been meaning to get my hands on a DLSR for a while and went for the D40. It is reasonable priced and had a number of good reviews and Nikon is as good as any camera manufacturer. I wasn't disappointed, it is easy to use and the results are excellent, you can just pick it up and take photos on the auto mode with no effort at all. It you ...  Read the complete review

I bought this gorgeous digital SLR (single-lens reflex) camera just over a year ago and am head over heels in love with it. Although only the entry level D range Nikon at 6.1 megapixels, it is an absolutely brilliant piece of kit (as you would expect from Nikon) for the money and produces impressively high quality photos. I've been an ...  Read the complete review

First DSLR I have ever owned and to be honest my first digital camera (except the ones you get on your mobile). I got given this as a gift after i had been looking at buying a digital SLR and wasn't sure what to go for, I had been looking at the D40X and the Canon equivalent at the time which i believe was the 40D or something like that. So when I ...  Read the complete review

This is the best camera I have ever owned...so far! I have got the photo taking bug and this is the camera that was repeatedly recommended to me. To begin with, the camera is easy to set up. The lens is detachable for easier storage but this is easily dismantled and reattached. To begin with if like me you want to play with the camera ...  Read the complete review

I got this camera about 6-8 months ago. I've had digital cameras in the past but I always wanted that professional picture like quality, which can only be found in an SLR camera. I chose this camera, because it seemed to offer the best value for money. The camera is relatively small for an SLR camera and is light also. The lens ...  Read the complete review

Past few years I found myself waiting and waiting for Nikon to come out with a moderatly priced digital SLR I could afford. Meanwhile, my 5 year old 4mp Optio (A gift) got more use and my beloved N70 got covered in the proverbial dust. Finaly the D40x came out. I said oooh thats it. Ok, I might even have drooled a bit too. So the past ...  Read the complete review

The Nikon D40 was the first digital SLR camera I owned. Since then I have used the slightly updated D40x, and currently have the D60, which features an anti-dust system. All of the cameras mentioned above share the same size and design, but have varying internal features. The D40 is a 6 megapixel camera. Now, this ...  Read the complete review

After buying this camera I am simply amazed at how much better quality can be achieved when using a digital SLR rather than a compact camera. The only downside is that you cannot simply slip this into your pocket however, once you start using this camera you will not be able to put it down. The final image quality is head and shoulders above the ...  Read the complete review

I purchased a Nikon D40 last month and the picture quality is fantastic. There are a variety of setting available (black and white, sepia, night etc.) and it has been a pleasure to figure out how each of them work. The camera is easy to use and the quality is much better than a standard digital camera. Learning to use the D40 is simple however the ...  Read the complete review

FEATURES!! Like the canon EOS 300D of 2003, Nikon’s D40 broke a psychological price barrier at the end of 2006 as the 1st DSLR kit launched at a price under £500!! Using the same as the 6.1 mega pixel sensor as the D50 may not make it the highest resolution model in this group, but it does benefit from having the ...  Read the complete review
