Shutterbug reviews the 6 megapixel Nikon D40 DSLR and writes, “It could be argued that the D40 might just sound the death knell for quite a few non-D-SLRs. It allows for lens interchangeability, offers plenty of auto and user-controlled image effect options, and completely eliminates what is probably killing more digicam sales than anything else these days—that dreadful shutter lag. At $599, it’s still not the equivalent of the “student†camera (the Pentax K1000 SLR of film days) we await in a digital SLR, but it sure is getting close. And while it sports a 6-megapixel sensor (many digicams surpass that with ease at equivalent prices) those using this class of camera who haven’t been brainwashed by the megapixel wars will find its image quality and print size potential does the trick.”

- 3 AF points
- 3D Color Matrix Metering II
