Is this camera for real?
Pros: Small, light weight, beautifully realized images. Price Point.
Cons: Inability to AF with all Nikon lenses. Consumer quality build.
BottomLine: For the absolute beginner or someone who wants more features than those in a point and shoot.

Pros: Easy to use for entry level dSLR user, lens kit included, much more
Cons: D40 is bare bones for dSLR, but has the stuff for any entry level enthusiast.
BottomLine: I recommend this for it's ease of use and outstanding image quality. It's lightweight and looks good too!

Small, and easy, and just too fun to use, the Nikon D40.
Pros: Light,Small,great for beginners especially.Great second body too.
Cons: Auto focus with AF-S and AF-I lenses only. Half step ISO,limited functionality for experienced.
BottomLine: This Nikon is important to anyone looking for a great starter/basic DSLR. Canon's Xt has now got some great competition, and that makes it better for everyone.

Big click, little buck.
Pros: Light. Quick. Inexpensive. Quality and quantity that won't break the bank.
Cons: Light. No top LCD. Small frame. Almost obsolete thanks to D40x.
BottomLine: If you don't already have a dSLR, buy this camera. Body and lens for under $600.

Really nice photos in an easy to use machine.
Pros: Quality, size, photos, price, etc, etc
Cons: You'll love it so much, that your next purchase will be a new Hard Drive.
BottomLine: If you are asking yourself if there is something better than the last point and shoot you bought, buy this camera and more photo albums!
