I Love It.

Cons: A bit pricey but not for a Nikon.
I've only had it for a week but I simply love it. Easy to shoot in Auto modes - nearly a "point and shoot", but with excellent optics and picture resolution.
The 18 to 55 mm lens is a very good range for casual shooting, but I have the 55 to 200 mm lens on order for more distance.
Search as I can, I can not find any faults with it yet... ...

Pros: Ease of use, clear LCD, great pictures.
Cons: It only has a 3 point auto focus, the nikon D80 has 11.
I work with digital cameras all day, so picking out an SLR was a long and hard choice. I finally decided on the Nikon D40 even though you have to buy the lenses with either the AF-S or AF-I built into it. Those are the auto focus meters. You need them because the camera was built without the auto focus system in the body to keep it so compact.
Besides that, the camera is awesome. Only thing I've noticed about it is that it seems to wash out people with the flash in doors, but going into the editing menu afterwards, and using the warm filter seems to help with that a lot.
It's a great camera to move to from point and shoot.
Great pictures without having to be a professional. ...
