Recieved this as a gift since I'm a "Nikon Guy."
While this was a good camera four years ago, time has passed it by and it isn't as much of a BAD camera as for the price there are significantly better offerings. The three point AF system and 6.1 MP sensor weren't exactly industry leaders at the time it came out and today are paled by cameras such as the Rebel 1000D and the Nikon D3000 in terms of IQ and dynamic range. The 18-55 ED II lens is the non-VR model as well, which is unfortunate since the VR model is a big step up and has replaced it as a kit lens for the entry level Nikons at no extra cost. Lens-wise, this is an entry level Nikon mount WITHOUT the in-body AF drive so your lens choices are limited. This was a bad decision by Nikon, and they continue to do it to this day. 2.5 fps is sluggish by today's standards.
I can't really recommend this camera since you can get a D3000 for the same price or less.Get more detail about Nikon D40 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens.
