Nikon D40 - 6 Megapixel dSLR - First Review
And it’s very positive as I expected, I saw this as a great camera for beginners and those looking at bridge or ‘prosumer’ superzoom models like the FZ-50 or Canon S3 IS.
It’s only a few hundred RM more (Selling for around RM2150) and you get a good solid 6 megapixel SLR with a new improved 18-55mm kit lens.
In everyday use the D40 is just what it set out to be, a very capable, compact, lightweight and easy to use camera which makes a perfect first step for anyone wanting to get into digital SLR photography. It provides enough control and a large enough range of manual settings to enable you to experiment and learn but also helps you to take great pictures in the process. It’s one of those cameras you can just pick up and start shooting without fuss, that you can hand to a friend who’s never used an SLR and know they’ll be able to do the same. All of this and a pretty decent kit lens for $600, I’d say it’s a bit of a bargain.

Fn is same as D200, Function button is programmable, can use it for anything you like seen as though D40 has limited external controls, and no top LCD it’s mostly menu driven.
