Hey /p/. I want to get into photography and have my eyes set on a Nikon d40 does it suffice?

why can't we all agree to some copypasta just for the D40? something like

Nikon D40, good for cheap bastards who can only afford a dSLR under $500 (without buying used) and for soccer moms using Ken Rockwell auto mode. pretty much fail for anything else unless you plan on using that saved money for better lenses or a better body later on

This is wrong, they d40 is a great camera, first off it is lightweight so you can carry it everywhere with ease while taking photos of your pets/friends/whatever, it's cheap so you buy better glass(its the glass that matters), the ergonomics are great if you don't have big hands and it has a bright contrasty LCD panel that lets you see your art after you have done it.

D40 isn't too bad a camera, but you would be better getting a d50 or d70/d80. the d40 is lightweight for a reason.

don't go nikon unless you already have nikon SLR lenses... go pentax or canon... and that's coming from a nikonfag!

we dont need a copypasta for the d40. just link to kenrockwell.com or whatever the fuck its called.

he seriously talks the biggest amount of rage worth shit. he blows nikon so hard and ever time a new camera comes out it the best thing ever and the old model is fucking worthless to him.

BASICALLY THE D90 IS AS GOOD AS THE D3. BASICALLY MATE>>>WOOO HOWHOWOHW

The Olympus E-4xx are lighter, smaller and cheaper.

>> it's cheap so you buy better glass(its the glass that matters)

Is it? Every other company also offers a model in the same price point as the D40. AND, those won't be gimped because Nikon decided not to put an AF motor and simple meter in it.

>> the ergonomics are great if you don't have big hands

Personal taste, no comments on that.

>> and it has a bright contrasty LCD panel that lets you see your art after you have done it.

Just like every other camera out there? But I see that you're trolling now that you said "art" and D40 in the same sentence.

d50 is old shit so is the d70s. they have shit image quality.

pentax...HO LOL.

The Nikon D40 also does not have a focus motor, this way it has less internal parts making it a more solid camera, who needs an internal focus motor anyway, all the new lenses coming out all got integrated focus motors.

i like how Nikon people, i won't say Nikonfags because i'm nice, can justify suggesting a used, discontinued camera from 2005 or a much more expensive model to people without batting an eye and think it's totally cool and normal

awesome marketing Nikon
