Title: Nikon D40 Digital Camera Review
Pros: Good noise control, Clever analog display, Clear help system, Comfortable grip
Cons: Limited auto focus (3-point), Poor color accuracy, Not as durable as other Nikons, Limited compatibility with many Nikon lenses
Verdict: The Nikon D40 is a disappointment. As Nikon has introduced entry-level DSLRs, the company has tended to make them a little more expensive and a little more capable than much of the competition. In this case, it hasn't. The D40's auto focus system is old-f

Title: Hands on with the Nikon D300
Pros: Sophisticated feature set; excellent AF performance; responsive 3D tracking AF system; incredibly vibrant 3-inch LCD; good low light/high ISO capabilities (with limitations-see Cons); custom Picture Control settings can be saved and shared; Nikon Capture
Cons: Manual noise reduction produces overly soft images at "Normal" and "High" settings; 3D tracking can work against itself when the subject and background colors are similar; 8fps continuous shooting available only with optional battery grip; learning curve
Verdict: Despite some minor quibbles, the Nikon D300 proves that it's not only a highly capable camera but one that has raised the bar for next generation mid-level DSLRs. When it comes to digital cameras, competition may be a photographer's best friend
Summary: Nikon has stepped up its game with this excellent mid-level digital SLR.
