Nikon has done it again. I am a Canon fan but I have to say Nikon has done something pretty cool with their new D40 DSLR. $600 including kit lens? Bargain!
It’s not just a cheapo budget faux DSLR that you will quickly grow out of either
- 6 megapixel, same as D70s
- Same processing engine as D200
- 2.5fps, same as D50
- 2.5″ LCD as opposed to D50 2″
- SD card slot, same as D50, plus SDHC
- USB 2 (D70s is USB 1 I believe)
- 18-55mm DX kit lens
The main “low” points are stuff that a beginner wouldn’t consider anyway such as no ISO 100 and only 3 area AF. The high points make it a very attractive camera. Makes me wonder if there is any point to the D50 now …
