I'm considering the D40 and the D80. Will the D40 be enough? I've been reading the discussions at:

and came across this review.

Good review. I personally would get the D40 over the D80. Disregard the fact that D80 has 10.2 MP compared to D40's 6MP. This doesn't make a differenct regarding the quality of the image when shooting in RAW (atleast to the naked eye). http://www.prodigy-studios.com

Mark, great very detailed and thorough review, I needed confidence boosting on moving from 35mm Nikon, this has provided it. Thanks. Nearly bought a D50 earlier this week , glad I waited.

Excellent review, just the right level of detail. ULEAD PhotoImpact 12 opens the NEF files with no problem at all and provides excellent facilities.

This is a great review, thank you very much!

I am very much an amateur photgrapher and very much looking to move forward a step after ordering the D40 last week. I have owned two other digi's, a Kodak DC210 and for the past four years a Fuji S304.

If anyone can help with a beginners guide to all the manual features (would need to cover from absolute basics)that would be much appeciated. I dont even know what a f number is!

Anyway, thanks for the review it was very, very useful!

Also - I bought mine from Amazon for £318 (August 2007) and I have the £60 Nikon cashback too) So all this for £258 - bit of a wow!

Mark - congratulations on your superb D40 review! If anyone's interested, I've created two lists of lenses that will AF (autofocus) on the D40. One list for Nikon Nikkor lenses: http://nikond40.dpnotes.com/nikkor-lenses-that-af-on-the-d40/, and the other for Sigma HSM lenses: http://nikond40.dpnotes.com/nikon-d40-and-sigma-lenses/

Be warned - if you think the Nikon cashback offer is a good deal, have a look at disgruntled customers at http://www.northumbrian.org.uk/rob/?p=860

Can the lens (fisheye, long range, etc.) used with a Nikon 100 body (film) - (circa 1999) be used with the D40 digital ??

Add me to the list of disgruntled customers. I never received my cashback and have written an article about it on my website :

Does anyone think this camera is a good bet second hand? I know its now old but it does make it a very cheap secondhand shooter?
