It was my first major nice camera and it changed my life. In my opinion, you can't even compare it to a regular digital camera -- the photos are so crisp, the colors are amazing and the depth of field is great. Plus, if you just set it on 'automatic', it's no harder to use than your basic digital camera. However, I would get a good lens. My D40 came with a 18-55 lens and I upgraded it to a 18-200 lens by Tamron, which I never take off.<BR/><BR/>Check out Ken Rockwell's wonderful Nikon DSLR tutorials on www.kenrockwell.com. My brother who is a huge Nikon buff, told me about the website and now I tell everyone. Rockwell takes you step-by-step through every setting on a Nikon camera and explains which ones will work best for you and why.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps... Good luck!Lisa Borgnes Giramontihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708026781435832810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-58194185350267186742009-03-13T07:11:00.000-07:002009-03-13T07:11:00.000-07:00Such a lovely post!

Would you recommend the Nikon D40 as a hospitable introduction to the world of DSLR? And how would you compare it to your average, run-of-the-mill digital camera?
