The Nikon D40 SLR Digital Camera is a great budget oriented way to get started! According to our resident expert John Jacobsen, “These are great to get started but if you find out you really are getting into photography, you will probably outgrow this pretty quickly. I started with the equivalent of the D40 about four years ago and had to upgrade after a year – but I also got about 25,000 pictures out of it and sold it to a friend of mine back in Florida to help pay for my next camera.”

Wikipedia says that what makes this SLR camera different from a point and shoot like the Canon PowerShot G10 is, “Focus can be adjusted manually by the photographer or automatically by an autofocus system. This system permits accurate viewing, composing and focusing, especially useful with interchangeable lenses.”
