I bought this camera eexp...ecting it to be a used item, for there was no mention of it being brand new! I still shoot with film, using an old Nikon, and simply wanted a digtal camera body so that I cold see immediately how my photographs might appear later, when my film was developed. I'm obviously a die hard film fan. But this new digtal D40 camera is so eay to use, is so light weight, and prodces such pin sharp pictures, that I'm in danger of being convinced to give my old film camera away! And value for money? Absolutely. I've scored well here indeed.
this is a great ca...mera for the price, simple to use and i love that there are websites you can go to, to help you set it up and use. it takes great photos and has a choice of lenses, flashes etc it is the only camera most of us will need
best bang for your buck. the price you can pick one of these up fo...r nowadays is pretty good. the camera is perfectly balanced when using a battery grip. the image quality is superb. i like it better than my d300
