Nikon D40: What you should know about the camera

The Nikon D40 was introduced over 13 years ago and is still incredibly rare among the very successful Nikon cameras in the market. When introduced, the camera was the brand’s smallest and lightest DSLR at the time, boasting few features found in the popular D80.


Just like the D50, the camera was released at a relatively low price. The most exciting news though was the fact that the company resisted the urge to keep chasing MPs and instead, concentrated on core features that deliver a good overall camera, which includes a lovely viewfinder, short shutter lag, and an even shorter viewfinder blackout.
