Digital camera reviews of Nikon D40 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX and 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6G ED AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens with 2 Nikon School DVD

Digital camera Review: Completely Measured Up
Summary: 5 Stars

As I decided to make the upgrade from a little, pocket-sized camera to "one of those black ones with the lens," I kept running across fantastic descriptions for the Nikon D40. I started with price range and, so far, this camera has exceeded what I expected a camera of this price range to produce. It's incredibly light, but still packs a punch.
The zoom isn't fantastic, but I suppose if I got off my wallet and bought a different lens, that would solve that issue.
If you're a wannabe amateur photographer like myself...go for it!
