First Light of my New Nikon D40
Filed Under Photography on May 18, 2007 at 2:12 am
My new Nikon D40 Digital SLR arrived today. My first impressions of the camera are excellent. It is easy to use, ergonomically well designed, and it takes great pictures. What more could you want from a camera!? Because I bought it over the net the only manual that came with it is in German so needless to say I haven’t read it! But, TBH, I saw no need to read it because in just a few minutes I was taking pictures as if I’d owned the camera for years. The UI guys obviously did something very right with this camera.
Needless to say I just had to put the camera through it’s paces so here are the results of my first experiments (not original resolution obviously).

Wow, they look great!
Who owns the cat? đ
Cheers Dave. That’s the 124 cat Tiger. She owns all of us.
I got a D40 at Christmas with a 18-55 lens and a 55-200 lens and I think it’s the dog’s bollocks. Lovely camera to use and pretty lightweight for a dSLR.
Thanks Karl, so far everyone I’ve talked to who has a D40 loves it. I got the one with the 18-55mm lens too and it’s pretty good but I’m used to a having a little more zoom so I’ve ordered a 70-300mm to expand things a bit đ
I’ve been looking at getting the 18-135mm lens for mine as pretty much everyhting I take is in that range and it’s mean not having to carry two lenses with me. A mate has the Nikkor 70-300mm lens and it’s pretty kick ass.
