"...the D40's features and overall performance clearly raise the bar on the "entry-level" DSLR class. But will first-time DSLR owners be satisfied with the D40's overall performance compared with its competitors or similarly priced advanced compacts..." from Popphoto.com The Nikon D40 DSLR is an affordable Family DSLR that gives excellent image quality and provides an easy step up from point-and-shoot (P&S) digital cameras. from Photoxels.com Pros: solid body,metering good most times, Cons: metering-rarely.limited accessories.mount on lens flimsy!just picking very small holes. The Bottom Line: Nikon have a very good starter camera here, they have listened to the enthusiasts and provided a very good introduction for the Nikon system. from Shopping.com Pros: Lightweight, excellent pictures, fast shutter, not complicated, very detailed photos Cons: zoom lens only goes to 55mm Wish grip was a bit larger The Bottom Line: Great for anyone wanting to upgrade from point and shoot but not going all the way to Pro level. from Shopping.com

Pros: Small, great image quality as always

Cons: Too small, uses small selection of lenses, no LCD on top, dark finder vs. D80.

The Bottom Line: Get a D50, D70s, D80, D200, D2Hs, D2X.
