Nikon - D40 Digital Camera Review

The Nikon D40 with the 18-55 standard zoom lens is an awesome camera.  This is my first DSLR, I have been shooting Canon and Nikon 35mm for several years and was leary of converting over to digital. I love the rich colors that I am able to get.  It is a very simple and straightforware camera to use.  The Nikon instructional dvd that I purchased with the camera was very helpful in teaching me the controls and settings that the camera offers.

Being a very budget concenious person, the quality of this camera makes it a very affordable camera. I was even able to add a new Tiffen Circular polarizer that further enhanced the bright colors that the Nikon produce.

This is a great camera for beginners and amateurs.  It features are all you will probally need.  It offers auto and manual focus, all the major preset automatic modes  and still gives you the option to use different creative shooting modes. 

Since it is a DSLR, you have the option to use many different lenses.  You can even add on other accessories like flash and remote controls.
