In a nutshell, the D40 was affordable, weighs less than 500g and can make great photos. Build quality is better than you’d expect from an all-plastic body and a dinky 18-55mm kit lens

I love this camera. I’ve had it for two years now and I don’t plan to replace it anytime soon. I shot thousands of pictures and it is still as good as on day one - even heavy rain didn’t do harm.
Ok, I’d like to get a better high ISO performance, but this is pretty much the only thing. The 6 megapixels are definitely enough for me!
