Nikon D40 Digital Camera with 18-55mm lens

Pros: Small, light weight, beautifully realized images. Price Point.
Cons: Inability to AF with all Nikon lenses. Consumer quality build.

The Nikon D40 with 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 AF-S AF lens is this company's bare bones entry level offering in the extremely volatile digital SLR market. As the two giants of the industry, Canon and Nikon vie for an ever increasing slice of the dSLR pie, Nikon ...

Pros: Easy to use for entry level dSLR user, lens kit included, much more
Cons: D40 is bare bones for dSLR, but has the stuff for any entry level enthusiast.

BEFORE WE BEGIN There are a lot of reviews on the web for the Nikon D40 and I will list some of the sites I recommend at the end of my review. Most of these reviews come from the perspective of a professional photographer and professional ...

Pros: A HUGE upgrade vs. the D70. Great price/performance ratio
Cons: lack of electronic shutter for faster flash synch

I have to say that the release of the D80 didn't really make a huge splash on the camera scene. I think that's pretty sad because the D80 is not only a worthy successor to the D70 but I strongly feel that it's the first DSLR good enough to be your LAST ...

Pros: Color Display Screen is a cool feature.
Cons: Sometimes it doesn't respond.

In the summer of 1998, I worked as a camp counselor at St. Matthews in Brooklyn, with kids ages 4 through 7 years of age. It was great experience and one that built my desire to work with children in my future. During one of my lunch breaks, I ...

Pros: Incredible feature set for the price: 10.2MP, instant start-up, fast 0.8ms shutter response and more!
Cons: Grip might be too small for some, Nikon Capture is extra.

Introduction and background I consider myself an avid photographer. My main interest in photography are people, landscapes, and travel. I was into film SLRs but I gravitated towards the more sophisticated point and shoot cameras for the ...

Pros: Very attractive, Beautiful print quality, Easy-to-use, Economical Ink, Canon reputation.
Cons: Small display, Only one paper tray, shows dust.

We were recently in the market for a new printer after several years of a black & white HP laser printer that had terrible feeding problems. Prior to the laser, I had had an early Canon bubblejet printer. I hadn't been too impressed with that inkjet, ...

Pros: Scanner, Copier, Fax, & borderless printing
Cons: No fax, noisy...

Pros: Compact body, bright and large viewfinder, easy to use, decent low-light performance
Cons: Matrix Metering *different* than other Nikons like D70s or D200

EDIT 7/13/2007. I've learned some more since I wrote this review, particularly in terms of noise performance of the current Nikon offerings. Most sites will show JPG noise performance out of camera in default settings. When compared this way, the best to ...

Pros: Light,Small,great for beginners especially.Great second body too.
Cons: Auto focus with AF-S and AF-I lenses only. Half step ISO,limited functionality for experienced.

Firstly this is the camera replacement for the venerable D50. Primed before release to be called the "D60" Nikon decided instead on the "D40" name. Accordingly announced on November16,2006, it steps up to the plate to go squarely against the Canon ...

Pros: Same RAW quality, better JPEGs than D200 for 700 dollars less!Beautiful finder as well.
Cons: A bit small without optional grip, "only" 3FPS, no metering of manual lenses

This is my UPDATED review of the D80. Sadly, some members gave me a "somewhat helpful" rating which made this review only "somewhat viewable." This happened even though I clearly said it was a bit of a teaser until I could give a more comprehensive ...

Pros: Light. Quick. Inexpensive. Quality and quantity that won't break the bank.
Cons: Light. No top LCD. Small frame. Almost obsolete thanks to D40x.

I've been shooting with my D40 for about a month now and I have to say I'm not as disappointed as I thought I'd be. Sounds weird saying it like that, but I was planning on getting the D80. When I settled for the D40 I was afraid I'd be settling too ...

Pros: Top quality and a good price
Cons: uses a different memory card from the previous D70 model. Bummer.

As a professional photographer, I tend to use a lot of cameras. The Nikon D80 is a superb creation and a big step up from the D70(which is a great camera in itself). The D80 body is actually lighter than the D70! That is wonderful if you are carrying ...

Pros: Quality, size, photos, price, etc, etc
Cons: You'll love it so much, that your next purchase will be a new Hard Drive.

Sorry nikonians or nikonistas or whatever your name is, but if you are a professional photographer this review is not for you, and neither probably the camera I always used point a shoot cameras, for my family’s trips, parties and some other stuff. I ...

Pros: Fantastic quality, features, battery life - can't get much better!
Cons: Small learning curve, accessories needed for best quality. Auto mode could take better night shots.

Short and Sweet: This thing will let you take some breathtaking photos if you know (or learn) the techniques. Also, get a tripod. Long and Still Sweet: Over the past couple years, I've gone from a simple point-and-shoot Kodak EasyShare camera to a ...

Pros: Handling - SUPERB Button Layout - much better then D50 Viewfinder - AWESOME!
Cons: some over exposure

This is a great unit. I absolutely love my D80. I moved from D50 which I scooped up a few months ago as the D50 were starting to appear refurbished. The D50 was my first experience into DSLRs and I learned quite a bit. By the 6 month I was ready to ...
