Some slight chromatic aberration issues The Final Word The Nikon D40 is a great entry level SLR
And a good competitor to Canons EOS 400D. It captures high quality pictures
Has speedy operation and great low light performance

No top plate data LCD, no lens motor in body (non-AF-S/AF-I lenses manual focus only), no depth of field preview, no exposure or white balance bracketing
The Nikon D40 is a budget, compact DSLR, that is has to be said it does it rather well
Abstract: The remarkably affordable D40 brings digital SLR technology to the masses. Despite some minor faults, this is a fantastic camera for photography enthusiasts. If youve ever used a single lens reflex (SLR) camera, youll know that they beat compact ca...
