The Nikon D40 is well known for its excellent image quality and ease of use. It has a big following with hobbyist and advanced amateur photographers alike. See Ken Rockwell's review of the D40 for a great read. Just Google Ken Rockwell D40 for a link to his site and detailed review. I have also used Ken's recommended D40 settings with incredible results. As Ken points out, don't be fooled by the 6 megapixel sensor as this camera produces incredible pictures. Unless you are going to do poster size enlargements, you don't need more. I have produced 8x10 and larger portraits that are awesome and indistinguishable from professional photos hanging next to them. The 18-55mm lens is solid and the 55-200 mm VR telephoto lens with vibration reduction is outstanding. The VR capability of the light 55-200 allows for great hand held images without using a tripod. This combination of lenses covers just about any condition you will encounter. Bottom line, this is a great camera if you are just getting started in photography as it is very forgiving and there is lots of information available about it. You will not be disappointed.Read full review
