Nikon D40 Review at CNET

Mark Goldstein | Digital SLR Cameras | November 23, 2006 | 0 Comments

Nikon D40CNET have published their review of the new Nikon D40 entry level DSLR camera.

“Shutter lag and autofocus speed pop up as the D40’s biggest weaknesses. It wakes up fast—0.3 second and you’re good to go. But its shutter lag in good light is an almost embarrassing (for a dSLR) 0.7 second, and it more than doubles in dim light to 1.6 seconds. I frequently missed shots because of it. The autofocus system works fine for small changes—the subject taking a step, or refocusing on something nearby—but when switching from a far subject to a near subject or vice versa, it takes a perceptibly long second or two to lock.”
