Nikon D40
« on: 12 June 2010, 00:43 »
Can anyone give me a quick review on this camera, I shall soon be receiving my late Grandads camera as he was a keen photographer which some has rubbed off onto me as i've owned 4 zenit film slr's and I have been offered this camera by my Grandma as she would like it to go to a good home and as I'm an avid fan of Photography even though I barely know the basics, but I've been told I can take good photos if left alone.
Cheers
Luke

Ive got one, is a pretty decent entry level slr and does what you expect for the price. Nothing too fancy like live view or video mode but its pretty easy to use and get used to.
