... I purchased the D40 outfit through Cameta Camera and couldn't be more pleased. Everything came just as advertised with no surprises and was shipped timely. I shopped for various digital SLR outfits (Cannon, Olympia, Nikon) for weeks on end and found this to be the best value out there. A note: Regardless of what camera you are considering, be absolutely certain you get to hold it in your hands at one store or another. I nearly got an Olympia outfit until I had a chance to hold the camera - and it simply wasn't comfortable for me.
The camera itself and the two lenses provide me with virtually everything I need, although the telephoto could be a bit longer. I've shot hundreds of pictures in the past month or so using every setting the camera has as well as the manual options and find the results terrific. The camera is fairly intuitive in its controls and buttons but I admit it took me a good couple of weeks at least to read the manual and really understand the capabilities.
I've shot low-light, slow shutter speeds, long exposures (don't forget tripod) action shots and have found the camera very quick with nearly no time needed between shots - unlike my prior point and shoot digitals. You can switch lenses fairly quickly and change your shot settings equally as quick. The only mode I've not had a need to try yet is the rapid fire sequence.
I've already ordered and received several 8 x 10 prints of some pictures and found the megapixel size of this camera renders terrific prints. Why pay for more megapixels if you aren't going to use them?
If this is your first venture into digital SLR photography you can't go wrong with this purchase. In fact regardless of your experience it's a darned good camera and should provide you with hours of shooting joy. I highly recommend the D40 and as long as Camita offers this outfit at this price - you need to buy it.
Let's see: long battery life, great pictures, versatile shooting modes, interchangeable lenses, manual shooting mode available, exposure compensation, flash compensation and all in a nicely packaged outfit (the camera case is especially first-rate)
You can certainly pay much more for a digital SLR but unless you're borderline professional - why would you? ...
