Nikon d40 being compared to Nikon d70Nikon d200 and Leica M7. This was done to show how small the Nikon d40 is compared to other cameras. This also shows the D40 with the Nikon 18-200mm Vr lens which is hard to find on the internet so I put some pics on. There is also plenty of room for your fingers with this lens which has been a concern with such a small camera but i have found it fine.
An overview of the D200’s Display Mode option, including an explanation of the various histograms, excerpted from the Magic Lantern DVD Guide for the Nikon D200 Digital SLR. Check out www.larkbooks.com/mlg for more info!
Nikon D2xs Nikon D60 camera http://www.microglobe.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?pName=nikon-d80 Two and a half years ago Nikon publicized the 6 megapixel Nikon D70, their first reasonable enthusiasts digital SLR, it proved to be a very well-known camera and strong competitor to the Canon EOS 300D (Digital Rebel). Just 15 months later Nikon revealed the Nikon d70s which was basically the same camera with a some subtle tweaks (improved AF, wider flash coverage, higher capacity battery, larger LCD monitor). And so just over 15 months on from the D70s Nikon present the latest incarnation of their ‘enthusiasts’ digital SLR line, the 10.2 megapixel Nikon D80.
The Nikon D80 slots nicely between the entry-level Nikon D50 and the semi-professional / professional Nikon D200, clearly based on the D70 design but also different enough to be seen as a completely new model. It features a ten megapixel DX format CCD (the same we presume as used by Sony in the DSLR-A100), the metering sensor from the D50 and numerous other items taken or modified from the D200. Nikon D2Hs and D2H are also wonderful cameras.

I'm looking for the best deal on a good camera.
I typed in "Nikon D40" on this website for the Day After Thanksgiving sales, and this showed up. It doesn't say that it's the D40 though, so I want to make sure. :]
it said is ebay… you get the best deal in d40 in ebay because they have import gray market model which has no u.s. warrantly, if you do wanted to go to that road to save money make you they aleast offered like store warrantly. But i see some of those are good deal better price than a used u.s. model per example. Best deal now is probably bhphoto 100 dollar rabates for d40kit with the 55-200mm lens http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/500315-REG/Nikon_9420_D40_SLR_Digital_Camera.html

Nikon D40 Digital SLR Two-Lens Bonus Outfit (18-55/55-200)
http://www.ritzcamera.com/product/SLR1160.htm
Does anybody have this camera?
If so,
can you tell if you like it, don't like it, what's good, what's not good, etc?
Thanks!
Also, I do portraiture photography.
And depth-of-field is very important to me.
The D40 is the best entry level dSLR currently available.
That two-lens-kit at RitzCamera is a really great deal, too. Normally RitzCamera isn't the cheapest place to shop but this combo is $90 cheaper than anywhere else (places like B&H, BeachCamera, etc.)
The only drawback to the D40 compared to more expensive Nikon models is that you can't use older Nikon lenses or prime lenses with it. On the other hand, with the included 18-55mm and 55-200mm lenses, you'll probably never need another lens. (And if you do want to expand you lens collection, there are over 20 different Nikon Lenses that will work perfectly with it, as well as dozens of third party lenses.)
Here are two in-depth reviews for the D40. The first one neatly sums up all the pros and cons:

Added:
For portraiture you can use either of the two lenses. The 55-200mm lens would be slightly more appropriate – for portraits use it towards the wide end of the zoom. Set the camera in Aperture priority mode, and use an aperture of f/4 for a blurry background (shallow depth of field). Or instead of aperture priority mode, use the portrait-mode.
The D40 has all of the scene modes that you're used to from a point & shoot, or you can take more and more manual control as you grow into it. Um, but you sound like you already know your way around a camera.
I'm shooting with a D80 right now and I understand the leap that is the D3. However, I want to shoot full-frame images and this is really my only option. I've been told by some photographers that the D3 is just a sports camera and will be useless for studio /outdoor artistic shots. What do you guys say?
That's ridiculous, the D3 can be used for whatever you want it for. Just choose the lens that fits what you are shooting and you are good to go.
You are asking if you should by a mountain bike or a Harley.
The Nikon D50 DSLR has a sensor that is about 15 times larger than almost any P&S camera.
Don't even think about it. Buy the D50. The lenses you will collect over the years will last for decades … long after you have replaced the body … with a P&S, you are dealing with replacing an inferrior camera every three to four years in any case
I'm a photography student buying a digital SLR for the first time. I need a affordable camera that's good.
Strongly recommend you Nikon, since in it's new D generation the features are amazing and speed + light = sharp…
Nevertheless, try to put together just a little more of money and go for a D70s, which I consider incredible and it's autofocus is truly impressive…
This D70s, will preform as real pro with a not very expensive Tokina Lens AT-X 840 Af II ( Af 80 – 400 f4.5 – 5.6 ).
This mix: D70s + AT-X 840 Af II, will be amazingly rewarded and updated by simply adding a teleconverter ( 2x ok )… and even sometimes is difficult to recognize photos from this mix and a 600mm f4!!! with just a fraction of the 600 mm price!
Go out there and enjoy with this nice equipment which is good enough even for a very hard task as bird photography is…
Good luck!
