Nikon D40 Reviewed @ Steve’s Digicams

Steve’s Digicams has a positive review of the Nikon D40, which is Nikons latest Digital SLR. There are several reasons to purchase the D40 however the greatest reason is the inexpensive price in relation to the relative high quality of the camera. A D40 with lens included will cost you less than $600! In terms of performance the Camera produces quality images even at the high ISO 1600 level.

Steve’s Digicams describes the cameras performance:

“Both our indoor and outdoor image quality results were very good when using the in-camera JPEG/Large Fine mode. The model utilizes a 6.1-megapixel Nikon DX format image sensor that records photos with a good amount of sharpness, accurate exposure, and rich color saturation. The D40 features a 3-area TTL AF system, it was fast and accurate, as you can see by our shooting performance numbers above. I was very impressed with the lack of image noise in our test shots, even ISO 1600 looks relatively good in my opinion. There’s also a HI 1 setting that, according to Nikon is “an equivalent of roughly ISO 3200″. I would suggest not using this mode unless in a real bind as the noise levels are very high.” Sample D40 Picutres.
