Nikon D40

Digital Camera Review

3.7 The 6.1-megapixel Nikon D40 retails for $599 with its 18-55mm kit lens. The price indicates a modest step down from previous Nikon entries, and the D40 shows the effects of that cost-cutting. Most notably, it only has 3 auto focus sensor zones, and it does not accept all Nikkor auto focus lenses. Still, Nikon has included a range of features that will appeal to beginners such as in-camera editing and an increased number of scene modes. There are many choices for snapshooters looking to spend $599. Read on to see if Nikon has put together a compelling package for the price.
