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.

Pros: Light, cheap, excellent image quality
Cons: Bad auto focus on lateral point
Opinion:
In my opinion a great camera.
Small and light, you can bring it almost everywhere without any difficulty.
Image quality is great
It is not sophisticated like its elder brothers, but it will be an advantage, because it will stimulate your wit in order to reach very good shots.
It has some small drawbacks, but it is a very good choice for the money and not only for beginners.
Fantastic for transition from Point and shoot to DSLR
