The D40 is my 4th Nikon slr in 35 years. Previous cameras..FT2, F301, F601.
Nikon are the d*** b******* when it comes to slr's!
The D40 is utterly reliable and can produce amazing images.
Having 6Mp on a DX CCD means absolutely no noise even at 1600 asa. So why have more Mp's and more noise.
6Mp is all you will ever need unless you are a pro who does massive posters!
The D40 handles beautifully. The battery lasts so long that I have never had to use the two spares that I bought (only £6 each from 7dayshop).
This camera can be recommended without hesitation. It will allow (almost) anyone to take fabulous images.
Why pay more for less?
