Quick review

The good
Good price, good handling, design, large 2.5-inch colour LCD, USB2 (Hi-Speed) connectivity, great image quality, good value for money
The bad
No top plate data LCD, no lens motor in body (non-AF-S/AF-I lenses manual focus only), no depth of field preview, no exposure or white balance bracketing
Verdict
The Nikon D40 is a budget, compact DSLR, that is has to be said it does it rather well
