Nikon D40 review
- 23-02-2007
Nikon have released the extremely compact D40 as a follow up to their successful D50. Meant as an affordable, easy to use, point-and-shoot camera this digital SLR offers most of the features of other full specs DSLRs. It has a 6-megapixel sensor, a new image processing engine, in camera retouching with D-lighting and red-eye reduction plus continuous shooting of 2.5 frames per second. All in a small and light body with that distinct Nikon quality feel.f we start our customary tour around the camera at the top, there is the pop-up flash with a guide number of 12 at ISO 100 and a sync speed of 1/500sec. - handy for subtle fill in flash under ambient lighting conditions. The standard hot shoe can hold a range of Nikon Speedlights or various third party external flashes. Next to it is a chunky program dial that gives access to all program options and scene modes. The shutter release is located on top of the comfortable hand grip, with the on/off switch placed around it. Two further, tiny push buttons activate the LCD display on the back and control exposure compensation. Contrary to the D50, there is no LCD status panel on the top plate. Instead all image information is displayed on the huge 230.000-pixel TFT screen on the back. Read the whole test here
