The Nikon d40 is an all new affordable compact, point-and-shoot digital SLR from Nikon.it follow s on from the d50 but at a significant lower price point and with a subtly different feature set .The biggest news however is probably fact that Nikon resisted the temptation to keep chasing megapixels(nooray for that) and instead appear to have concentrated on what makes a good camera a decent viewfinder, blackout.they’ve trimmed some of the less important feature.very nice camera, perfect awesome and
