This model Nikon D40 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera , Do you think that 6.1Mp is weak , or what ?

I just want to know if this is a good camera , better than the others , give kickass photos ? and good price

thanks very much

 

Make sure you're buying it with the lens and not just the body.

I've got the D50, with the 18-55mm kit lens. Lovely camera, but you need to know what you're doing. It's not like a point and shoot in any stretch of the imagination. If you've never had any experience with manual features on a camera it may not be wise to jump straight into the SLR pool.

The Nikon SLR's are VERY good cameras.

 

WTF ? they dont come with lens !!

ok I saw this what about it ? Link I think this full its D40 ..

and you said that this camera not auto ? how much time I need to learn to use it ! rofl I dotn want thing with this crap !! it good but do you think it will be easy to learn it ?

I can get new camera with 500 $ this the deal ! so this nikon was near what I want . but this not auto things is crap ! becaues in not photgrapher !!

I was a camera to fell teh power on it . not normal camera . kicass one

thanks

 

D40 or D40x? There have been some changes to the standard D40.

Edit:/ the one you've linked to comes with the standard kit lens.

All DSlr's have some kind of auto mode. But if your not looking to use the advance / manual features then there really isn't any point to buying one as your essentially left with a expensive point + shoot.

 

Yep, that'll do. As long as it says "with AF-S lens" and not "Body Only", you're okay.

btw, have a good read through Ken Rockwell's guide on how to use your D40. It's very good.

The D40x has a higher MP count, but has worse picture quality as the internals aren't built properly for the upped MP count and the photos turn out fuzzy-looking (or so reviews are saying, anyway).

 

Remember you buy a dSLR with the intent to learn how to use it. Don't just assume it's broken or crap because your pictures haven't come out alright, they take time to get used to.

 

I agree with bindi. I really need to want everything that goes with the dSLR, learning how to use it, expensive accessories etc.
Once you have one and you start to get the hang of it though it's great fun and I've never looked back.
6.1MP isn't bad by any stretch just don't try to print in A0 sized paper and you'll be fine. Obviously as an alternative to the Nikon don't forget to check Canon too. If you can try it out in a shop first also all the better

 

OMG !! This is not normal camera , do I have to learn all of that things to use it you kidding me ! there are a lot of settings .

I'm idiot I was think this is just point and shoot camera but a strong and kickass one , I was wrong .

Bindibadgi rofl its crap , How the hell I will know to use it . also this look like the camera on the photograph shop . I will not open shop , lol

so what now Can I learn it ? or I have to buy another thing ?

I just want some thing like it but EASY use with 1 press to shoot not tons of buttons and settings befour shoot ..

And like hiren said .. I'm not advanced !! rofl

EDIT : maybe one of those this they look liek SLRs

Canon S3 IS Black 6.0 MP Digital Camera
or
Canon A640 Black 10.0 MP Digital Camera

 

Canon S3 IS is a good choice, sir!

 

I have checked a lot of facts and compared the specs for a few different models comparing SLRs and point-and-shoots. You can even cross-shop the low-end SLRs and high-end point-and-shoots in terms of price and features (although an SLR is a different kind of beast altogether). After a lot of thinking and careful consideration, I've come to the conclusion that youre a dumbasss.

No I'm Not dumbass !! I'm not pro in camera things !!

ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

WTF This is dammmmmmmmmmmmmm funny Cant stop laughing !! omg this is the best post I saw before the exams ROFL ! nice

 

Erm flame

seconds kenco_uk

 

I don't think you got the point.

 

It all depends on whether or not you want to take snapshots or photographs. You can do both with any camera really but if you want to take decent pictures, buy an SLR and spend 3 days reading the manual before you even turn it on. Take as many pictures as you can and read up on composition, lighting, etc etc.

If taking pictures of your mates at a pub on friday night is what the camera is going to be for, buy yourself a decent point-and-shoot. I'm a Canon fanboy and I'll tell you to get something from the Powershot A-line. The S3 is decent but at that point you're better off just getting an SLR and jumping into it.

 

what your point ? its liek you make fun of me but no problem

Edit :

yeah thats me so you says Canon A640 Black 10.0 MP Digital Camera ..

 

What an odd chap.

If you want an easy-to-use but 'kicass' camera, just buy a decent point-and-shoot. Don't waste your time with an SLR.

 

I will not ! but this decent point-and-shoot cameras what the good one ?

this one look good like I said Canon A640 Black 10.0 MP Digital Camera

what do you say ? thanks

 

Most point-and-shoots are pretty good nowadays. You can't go wrong with the Fujifilm models, or Canon, or even Sony.
