Title: Nikon D40: terrific starter dSLR
Pros: Fast start-up; simple menu; graphic interface; light weight
Cons: Older lenses not supported; no top LCD panel; plastic lens
Verdict: The D40 is a worthy upgrade from the Nikon D50. Although it has a lower number (probably because Canon's closest competitor is the EOS 400D), it is a definite improvement and makes an excellent entry-level model. It can even be carried in a large pocket

Cons: Slow kit lens; occasionally slow to focus; only 6 megapixels; raw editing software costs extra; control scheme can be awkward; no automatic sensor cleaning.

Title: REVIEW-NIKON D40 digital single lens reflex
Cons: The D40 is the first Nikon DSLR not to have a camera status LCD on the body top. Camera status is now displayed ephemerally on the LCD review screen and some settings appear in the viewfinder. Nikon is not alone in doing this and it no doubt keeps the pri
Verdict: Will 6 megapixels do the job? For most people, yes. And the D40 has 6 million really well handled pixels. It is recommended without reservation."
Summary: This 6.2 megapixel camera is Nikon's entry level DSLR. It is lighter and smaller than any previous Nikon. Although at first the camera feels flimsy it is soon apparent that, although light, it is rigid and tightly made.

Title: Nikon D40
