Read on to find out more about the camera's size, sensor, features, reception by expert reviewers, and how it compares to other digital cameras. Three successive views from the front, the top, and the rear are shown. All width, height and depth dimensions are rounded to the nearest millimeter. The table below summarizes the key physical specs of the Nikon D40 alongside a set of similar cameras.
If you want to review a particular camera pair side-by-side, just move across to the CAM-parator tool and choose from the broad selection of possible comparisons there. The listed prices provide an indication of the market segment that the manufacturer of the cameras have been targeting. Usually, retail prices stay at first close to the launch price, but after several months, discounts become available. Later in the product cycle and, in particular, when the replacement model is about to appear, further discounting and stock clearance sales often push the camera price considerably down.
Then, after the new model is out, very good deals can frequently be found on the pre-owned market. The imaging sensor is at the core of digital cameras and its size is one of the main determining factors of image quality. A large sensor will generally have larger individual pixels that offer better low-light sensitivity, provide wider dynamic range , and have richer color-depth than smaller pixels in a sensor of the same technological generation. Furthermore, a large sensor camera will give the photographer more possibilities to use shallow depth-of-field in order to isolate a subject from the background.
On the downside, larger sensors are more costly to manufacture and tent to lead to bigger and heavier cameras and lenses. Within the spectrum of camera sensors, this places the Nikon D40 among the medium-sized sensor cameras that aim to strike a balance between image quality and portability. For most cameras, data on sensor performance has been reported by DXO Mark.
The table below summarizes the physical sensor characteristics and sensor quality findings and compares them across a set of similar cameras. It should be noted that unlike many modern cameras, the D40 does not provide the possibility to capture videos. Please enter the correct email address.

To the right lie the arrow pad and delete button. The pop-up flash rises high above the lens axis, lifting automatically in the auto shooting mode. A hot shoe is provided for accessory flash units, such as the new, light and ultra-compact SB Speedlight, which Nikon has released concurrently with the new camera.
Built into the D40 is a new advanced Nikon Image Processing Engine, which makes the new camera more responsive than its predecessor. The AF sensors lie linearly across the centre of the viewfinder display with a cross-type sensor in the centre. The camera then determines and sets the correct exposure.
Sensitivity is adjustable from ISO to , with the auto setting covering the full range. Shots taken with HI 1 sensitivity are automatically processed to reduce noise, increasing recording time by about one second per frame. Our tests showed this control would be required for most shots taken under artificial lighting. You can also copy white balance from an existing image.
Noise reduction processing can be applied to shots taken with high ISO settings but it doubles the image processing time. With the continuous shooting mode, you can record up to JPEG images at 2.
They can be fun to use — and handy under certain circumstances — and may help provide a bridge for anyone who is converting from a digicam to a more sophisticated camera. Performance Pictures taken with the test camera were generally well-exposed, sharp and colour accurate but quite severe coloured fringing was found in outdoor shots in bright conditions, particularly towards the edges of the field of view.
