Great pictures used to require complicated and cumbersome equipment along with years of experience. Not any more. The D40 is compact, lightweight and designed specifically for ease of use, yet contains all the top-quality, high-performance technologies that you expect from a Nikon digital SLR. And with world-famous Nikkor lenses, you know you have the sharpest and most reliable optical performance available. All in a camera light enough to carry with you everywhere. Beautiful photography has never been easier.

Great all-around digital SLR
After extensive internet searching and comparison, I bough this camera kit. I was tired of out of focus and distorted images from even the best Ultra-compact cameras.
I saw a friend's photos from a D SLR and was convinced to buy one. I wanted Nikon since I could use all of my Nikkor lenses from the 70's and 80's.
See Ken Rockwell's review. This camera is lightweight and takes photos reminiscent of my old 35 mm SLR's. I also got the external flash since the built in ones are never adequate. This makes a world of difference.
