Nikon D40 Digital SLR Camera Review
Devastating its predecessor the Nikon D50 Digital SLR camera, the all new compact and reasonably priced point-and-shoot Nikon D40 Digital SLR camera comes at a substantially lower price. With a subtly distinctive set of features Nikon has trimmed a few of the ‘less vital features and have included a range of new features which includes the custom Auto ISO feature offered on the Nikon D80 Digital SLR cameras. Nikon appears to have concentrated on what makes a great camera. A solid viewfinder,a short shutter lag, and an exceptionally short viewfinder blackout. On the negative side the Nikon D40 Digital SLR camera doesn’t have an internal focus drive motor and as a result no mechanical focus drive pin. Rather it has CPU contacts permitting Auto Focus only with AF-S and AF-I lenses which have built-in focus motors.
This means the Nikon ‘standard’ lenses the Nikkor 50 mm F1.8D as well as the F1.4D is going to be manual focus only on the Nikon D40 Digital SLR camera. The distinction inside the lens mount of the Nikon D40 Digital SLR camera and this is the mechanical focus drive pin at about the 7 o’clock position on the mount of the Nikon D80 Digital SLR camera. I personally bought the camera and my family and I have been taking pictures non stop since buying it in January 2007. I extremely suggest the Nikon D40 Digital SLR camera for an entry level professional grade camera.
I also would suggest buying a significant memory chip I bought a 4GB chip for under 100 dollars at Futureshop and it held over 1600 photos at the highest resolution the camera provides. Hats off to Nikon, for delivering a solid, cost-effective digital camera with multitude of features and resisting the temptation to enter the chase for extra mega pixels.
