New Nikon D40 Digital SLR

by Karen on July 24, 2007

We purchased a Nikon D40 Digital SLR and we love it. We chose the Nikon because Ted had a Nikon ages ago (when we shot film) and has lenses for it. We went for the D40 versus the 10 Megapixel D40x for two reasons: price and the fact that David Pogue has been saying for awhile that Megapixels don’t really matter, 6 is enough.

So far, we’re very happy. First impressions: the camera is very, very fast, to start up and to focus and to take pictures. I took it to the Flower Festival in Lompoc and got these shots:
