Please check back after it's available for purchase. Not only upgrading the specification, but they also upgraded the look of it. Are you curious about it? Here is the review of Nikon D40 camera Look. Nikon D40 is slightly designed as its sibling D40X, but it comes in weightier body.
However, this camera is still friendly to carry for your street camera. This camera has robust and well-body construction that is very fine to accompany your photographic moments.
It has the typical Nikon body with tough black look with ergonomic style. It will be very nice to be in your hand with real mounted hand grip on the front part. And it will allow you to do one-handed shooting. Based on the Nikon D40 manual, this camera is made weightier than D40X which is around g including the batteries and cards.
And it has a dimension of 5. With a help of the camera strap, it will be fine if you get tired of handling it. Select On to automatically display shooting information after the shutter-release button is released.

Changes to the affected setting are visible in the viewfinder and shoot- ing information display. If asked to sum up this Nikon D40 guide into two words, it would be these: easy and compact. It's incredibly easy to change the camera settings on the D40, even if you are not a seasoned user of digital SLR cameras.
The camera is so small that I found myself using it a lot more like a compact digital camera than an SLR: taking shots with one hand at arm's length. Without an LCD preview this led to a high number of botched photos autofocus was off , but the D40 lends itself to this type of one-handed from-the-hip style of photography. To begin with, it's a big, bright 2.
On the left-hand side of the display there is a circle, which is a graphical representation of both shutter speed and aperture. The aperture display here is the real asset: it clearly shows you the width of the lens aperture based on the aperture setting.
The shutter speed graphic is less obvious: it reads more like a pressure guage that surrounds the aperture circle. As shutter speed increases, more segments appear on the guage. Surrounding this graphical display are all the rest of the camera settings: battery life, ISO, number of shots left, image quality, etc. But the D40 takes this graphical approach one step further with all of the camera controls. Small thumbnails photos accompany each ISO setting - all you have to do is match the actual scene in front of you with the thumbnail, and your ISO setting will be correct.
While this graphical approach to camera settings will certainly help the beginning photographer it also makes the Nikon D40 incredibly easy to use. You can now adjust and tweak each camera setting until you get them just right for the lighting conditions and your choice of subject. Unlike many other comparable digital SLR cameras, the Nikon D40 uses a simple 3-point autofocus system most other cameras in this class have 5 where the 3 focus points are aligned straight across the viewfinder.
While this might be a drawback for the dedicated action photographer who needs more focus points to track a fast-moving subject I did not have any autofocus issues as I was testing the camera for this Nikon D40 guide. Perhaps keeping it simple was the right way to go, because the autofocus is very fast and quite precise. The autofocus does have a hard time settling in under dim lighting conditions and when the subject is monochromatic with little edge definition but this is true of many other digital SLR camera models.
Under normal lighting, the Nikon D40 focuses in an instant, resulting in very few missed photo opportunities. Despite its diminutive size, the battery holds a charge quite well, and lasted up to about shots before finally giving out under normal use conditions. We now arrive at the part of this Nikon D40 guide where I talk about the only major drawback this camera has: its compatibility with lenses. In their efforts to reduce the size of the camera body, Nikon eliminated a focus motor.
This motor is used to drive the autofocus mechanism of many of the older Nikon F-mount lenses.
