Anyone with a Nikon D40?

Question

So I'm considering buying a Nikon D40 and I wanted to see what people who owned one thought about them.

So what are the pros and cons of them?

And any other information about them would be great too.

Thanks.

Answer 1

It is the best entry level camera at this time

Don't worry about the 6MP sensor.  I used a D100 for over three years professionally with a 6MP sensor with older technology than the 6MP sensor on the D40

The limitation of the AF-S lenses is not a big deal ... since there are currently 29 different focal lengths being sold and AF-S and AF-I lenses made since 1985 will work fine.

Answer 2

Hey, I Own One:

Pros

2.5" Screen

Comfortable Design

F-Mount

Image Quality ( To Some Extent )

Cons

' Only ' Six megapixels

Can Only Auto Focus AF-S Lenses.

Noisy At High ISO'S

And, that's just the basics ( pros and cons ), but don't mind the whole six megapixel thing, it's a great camera, you just have to get some AF-S lenses, because manual focus is really annoying, but i love my nikon d40, and the images are fantastic: here's my photostream:

almost all of them, except the first one, with the dog, were taken with the nikon d40 DSLR Camera
