CNET Asia Review
Very good
The good: Excellent feel and compact size; very customizable menu architecture; nice guidance for dSLR newbies; excellent noise characteristics for high-ISO shots. 7.5
out of 10View score
The bad: Slow kit lens; occasionally slow to focus; only 6 megapixels; RAW editing software costs extra; control scheme can be awkward; no automatic sensor cleaning.
The bottom line: The Nikon D40 is a great transition camera for going from point-and-shoot to your first dSLR.

I am experimenting with the DSLR world for about a month only and I did not even thought that such a nice pics come out of me
The DVDs on photography & Nikon D40 that came with the camera was very much useful

Sep 3, 2007Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Small, quiet, value for money
Cons: 6 MP, Only built-in autofocus motor lenses
Opinion:
This is a perfect camera for me as I was using my dad's P5000 and when i got this camera at COMEX they also gave the 55-200mm lenses free and that already covered all my needs. Great transition camera for an enthusiast using digital cameras to SLR! :)
Spectacular performance and great for first-timers on dSLRs
Jun 10, 2007Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Very smooth handling, takes exceptionally good photos and is good at anytime you want
Cons: only 6 megapixels
Opinion:
great, really great. i used it at the Navy Open House 2007. on the rocking boat, i could snap a perfectly clear, still and close picture of a patrol boat at an estimated 20 knots. the focus is brilliant and is great for starters. price is more affordable than most dSLRs. good starting camera for all professional beginners. Nikon still puts on the best show at the end of the day.
