What's great about it:?everything What's not so great:?not much "The Nikon D40 is an excellent camera for everyone. The camera is a little big so it isnt good for like a class trip but I am a photographer of landscapes and wildlife and after doing my research found this camera to be the best one and it is. from Bestbuy.com Reviewer Images (click to see full-size image) (Click anywhere inside this popup to close it) (Click anywhere inside this popup to close it) What's great about it:?Price, quality, easy to use, great for beginners, Battery life What's not so great:?nothing really, maybe megapixels but not really "This is a great camera, especially as little as it costs. When I first bought a d40 it cost near 600 dollars, and it was still well worth that then. Some might find the 6.1 megapixels as too little, but really unless you are wanting to print out some massive pictures then 6 will cover all your needs. from Bestbuy.com Reviewer Images (click to see full-size image) (Click anywhere inside this popup to close it) (Click anywhere inside this popup to close it) What's great about it:?PICTURES, battery, ease of use, price, lens, size, features... EVERYTHING What's not so great:?the only thing I wish it came with a memory card... from Bestbuy.com Reviewer Images (click to see full-size image) (Click anywhere inside this popup to close it) What's great about it:?easy to use, good price "I got the D40 in March, and I absolutely LOVE it. It takes the most amazing pictures. from Bestbuy.com I've had my Nikon D3000 since it was first released about 4 weeks ago and I'm really pleased with it. I'm an amateur/hobbyist photographer and for a year or so I haven't really been sure what DSLR to get. from Amazon.com We were looking for the nikon D40 at the camera store. The lady showed us this one. from Amazon.com Nikon D3000 is Nikon beginner / entry level camera. It replaces Nikon D60. from Amazon.com Summary: I've been shooting the Nikon d40 since 2007, as a somewhat "serious" amateur. It has proven to be a decent DSLR overall, and terrific for the price. from Amazon.com My good old point-and-shoot camera (one of the Canon PowerShot series) had served me faithfully, but I was growing frustrated with its limitations. It seemed SO slow -- I was always missing great shots of my kids. from Amazon.com Looking over several cameras and choosing one for someone who has outgrown point and shoots, I came back to the Nikon D3000. By no means will this model blow away the seasoned photographer, however it does cover the basics and more. from Amazon.com
