 Do not buy the Nikon D40 - it breaks right after the warranty expires July 31, 2010

Do not buy the Nikon d40. It breaks way too easy. Ours broke twice just after the warranty expired and then six months later and then a third time and we gave up. We send it in twice to get fixed. They would not tell us how much to fix it until we sent it in and then they held us hostage to pay them and we thought they were charging us way too much. They charged us just enough to not justify buying a new one each time. After three times the Nikon D40 broke, we gave up and bought a different brand. I will not give out the brand name of our new camera because I don't want anyone to think we work for them. We are very happy with our new camera and it is not a Nikon. The first time the flash would not work. The 2nd time the camera would not take pictures in the autofocus mode. It would take pictures in manual focus only and they would be blurry. The Nikon D40 breaks way too early. Please do not buy this camera. Nikon is horrible to deal with. I will never buy another Nikon camera again.
 Love it! July 30, 2010

I love this camera, it's small, it's durable, it's got an incredible battery life and it take high quality pictures. I've never owned another dslr but this is a huge improvement on my Nikon point and shoot camera. I've owned it for a year and a half and it has never caused any problems. It takes excellent pictures, I particularly like the crisp field of focus. The battery last so long I loose the charger between chargings. Truly it is an all around great camera.
I have never owned another DSLR to compare it to, but for this price there aren't many options. I did own a point and shoot before I bought the Nikon d40 and I planned on keeping both of them, the smaller for situations when I might loose or damage it, or I don't want to carry a big camera. But after a couple weeks I couldn't bring myself to use the little camera knowing the d40 could take such superior pictures. Even in situations where the camera was at risk!

If you are trying to venture into the photography world with SLRs this is absolutely recommended. The Image quality is just amazing. Although this camera is just a step into SLR photography I would have atleast loved to have some basic features like:
* Video recording
* Higher resolution support (6MP doesnt suffice hunger of a passionate photographer)
Cheer!

I LOVE this camera. This is my first DSLR camera. I have only used Kodak digital cameras before this. I am in LOVE with this camera. I am still learning but just from using auto the pictures I take are just amazing. I was between this camera and the D5000. I did some research on KenRockwell.Com and he said this was the perfect learning camera and it is. I have since bought an SB400 flash and some lenses and am loving the camera.
