Nikon D40 is an all New Affordable Compact Point And shoot Digital SLR from NIKON it Follows on from the D50 But at a singnificantaly Low price point and a subtly different features set. NIKON makes good camera but They’ve trimmed some less important Features like ( you cant change the Exposure Steps for Example) but have a squezzed and a range new feature such as Custom Auto ISO Which we welcomed with D80 but D40 was a good camera at this price Price Overall it has 6 mega pixel and a 3D Matrix Metering 2.
