Nikon D40 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens

I have been very pleased with this camera and recommend it to anyone who wants to take great pictures. I love being able to zoom in without losing the quality of the picture. This camera is good for sports or just taking still pictures. I rate this product with a 5 star

I kept telling myself, "I'm a Canon person, I'm a Canon person." The Eye-Fi crew kept trying to turn me into a Mac person, now they were trying to turn me into a Nikon person? I didn't think this was possible. They had a D40 shipped out to us for testing and I was quite a bit more surprised at how excellent this camera was. After using a Nikon L11 Point N Shoot, I didn't think that the D40 would tickle my fancy. In fact, I expected to be disappointed.

It seemed like no matter what mode I put it in, I just could not get a bad picture to come out of this camera. Even when I mistakenly left it on manual focus and took way too many pictures that were out of focus they still seemed good! The ISO settings were amazing, as well. I put it all the way up to ISO 800 and still failed to get any real noticeable noise in the pictures (unless you looked at 150% or so). ISO 100 was absolutely fabulous, no noise whatsoever. I took a ton of night shots with this camera, never disappointed.

The Nikon DSLR really changed my opinions on Nikons. I will still never use another Nikon PnS again anytime in the future, but I am now a Nikon DSLR fan!

Camera purchase okay and good camera. Very dissatisfied with Amazon as they canceled another order with no explanation. Will not order again from Amazon.

I have now owned my D40 for just under a year and I am hooked. I've shot 10,000+ pics and still counting. It's size, ease of use, and user friendly interface are perfect for people thinking of getting into the DSLR world; and the battery life is phenomenal! The only things I wish this camera came with were the ability to bracket shots automatically, and an intervolometer, other than that I love my D40!

This is the camera that I've been waiting for. After years of using a point and shoot, it was time to upgrade to a dSLR. This camera and lens kit are a phenomenal value and the photos are perfect quality.

There is no need to buy a more expensive camera if you are new to the dSLR market!
