My sister bought a Nikon D40 and I HAD to take this piece on a testdrive. After all, the D40 was supposed to be Nikon's answer to Canon's 350D, which supplies this photoblog. Well, see for yourself, the image quality even with the low-budget standard kit lens is quite astonishing, and after taking 20 photos last weekend in my parent's garden, I was not so sure my next camera will be a Canon again. Just kidding - but the D40 is everything but a bad camera.
