DigitalCameraInfo reviews the 6 megapixel Nikon D40 DSLR and writes, “The Nikon D40 is a disappointment. As Nikon has introduced entry-level DSLRs, the company has tended to make them a little more expensive and a little more capable than much of the competition. In this case, it hasn’t. The D40’s auto focus system is old-fashioned. It’s a backward step, which is something that DSLR manufacturers do at their peril these days. The D40’s color is clearly tuned to the snapshot market, which likes eye-popping color, but our results indicate that Nikon went over the top in saturating the reds. The D40 offers plenty of in-camera image editing, but that’s not a distinction that provides a significant advantage over other entry-level DSLRs. The Nikon D40 is affordable with a retail price of $599 and a kit lens included, but there are other entry-level DSLRs with similar prices that offer more.”
