Advantages: new features that allow creative editing and retouching the image Disadvantages: A few changes IN RESPECT his predecessor
The image quality is good. Sharpness good before moving programme retouching. Very good autonomy.

Advantages: Excellent picture quality, easy to use Disadvantages: None
I bought my Nikon D40 3 months ago. This is my first SLR camera and my first Nikon. I am an amateur photographer and owned Canons before. I love this camera so much! I take tons of pictures of my kids. The first few pictures I took were on auto and they were amazing. The quality is over the top! It is very very easy to use and the manual is very informative. It feels good and solid in your hands, not too large. The battery lasts a long time as well. ...

I have used my camera in a variety of settings - indoor basketball ...
