"This is my very first digital camera and my first real camera.I consider this digital SLR a real camera.I also wanted a camera I could grow into, but not be disappointed or limited by, after I learned more about photography. I think I hit that sweet-spot with the D40.I researched the heck out of digital SLRs before I made my purchase, and I'm very happy with my D40, and having owned it for a month, I would buy it all over again.They say it's not the camera but the photographer that makes a great picture, and to a degree that is true, but when you are just starting out, the difference in your photographs between those taken with a good SLR and a cheap point and shoot is like night and day.You really have to try to take a bad picture with this camera.At the bottom I include a couple of pictures that I shot the very first day I got this camera and you can decide for yourself.[...]My ONLY complaint is that I wish this camera had more pixels (if I had more money I would have purchased the D40x). The only reason I mention that is because in the future I want to blow up some of my photographs to poster size, but 6.1 Megapixels is just a tad too small to do that.If you never plan on going beyond 8"x10", then you will be just fine with this camera and 6.1 Megapixels is more than plenty.The "kit lens" that comes with this (18-55mm) is also very capable and should be good enough for most people.If you want to step up to a larger lens then you will likely also want to grab the Nikon 55-200mm VR too.You will also want to get the Nikon SB400 flash and maybe a favorite tripod (if you shoot with one of those) and you pretty much will have everything you could possibly want to last you for quite a while.I really very happy with this camera!"
