d300, just not as easily.there are drawbacks to the d40; the selection of lenses while plenty for amateur photographers is a bit limited and the auto white balance is not as good as the d200 or d300.

while the camera sports only 6 megapixels, that is more than adequate for most photographers.
from www.amazon.com
for casual photographers who will be satisfied with one or two lenses, or for more serious photographers looking for a second, lighter camera for part-time use, the d40 represents an excellent value

Nikon D200

Best Price: $1,270.00

from Digital Darrell, nikonians.org
basically, this camera was designed for passionate photographers who want to go beyond basic digital photography while using a smaller bodied, professional level camera.
from DigitalCamera staff, www.dcmag.co.uk
"this is the ideal camera for wedding and portrait photographers or an advanced enthusiast."
from from Detroit, www.circuitcity.com
i expect that this will be the most popular camera used by professional photographers due to its light weight, low cost, high speed and sealed magnesium body.

this camera is a good jump for beginning photographers looking to step it up to the intermediate level.
from www.amazon.com
this is a very good camera for beginner photographers to learn all about cameras and their different settings , but you won't get photos as good as a dslr camera like the canon rebel xs for example

spot metering is a tool that many photographers find invaluable, particularly when setting manual exposures in difficult-to-capture high contrast scenes.
from www.amazon.com
of course, it isn't as "easy" as a point and shoot camera so be sure to at least read a few professional photographers tips and whatnot online before considering a dslr.

the "basic" zones give comfortable starting point for new photographers; selecting one of these puts the camera in full automatic mode, akin to a point-and-shoot camera.

from www.pricegrabber.com
it is a skill that photographers develop over years of practice.
from www.pricegrabber.com
it does have a hotshoe mount for attaching external flashes, however the built-in flash is very nice and will probably be more than enough for most non-pro photographers.
from www.bhphotovideo.com
easy to use and train new photographers, just as the previous models.
