I don’t like to lug around a big camera, so the size of the Nikon D40 is perfect to carry in a small camera bag or in a mini bag inside a purse, which is great plus on a vacation.

If you’ve been waiting to go digital, then the Nikon D40 is a great place to start.

I’ve owned my D40 for two years now. I’ve shot landscapes, portraits, urban candids, kid candids, pet candids, basketball, soccer, football, dog agility competitions, fireworks, etc… the Nikon D40 handles it all with ease. Sure you can spend more, and you’ll probably be just as happy with a more expensive camera. But for the vast majority of casual and serious photo hobbyists, this is all the camera you’ll need. Take some of the money you save buying the Nikon D40 and invest in some good photography books (or borrow them at your local library)and/or a photo workshop or two. Believe me — that will do more to improve your images than a more expensive camera ever could.
