I am not a skilled photographer and this camera has improved my pictures immensely. Great zoom and the automatic settings are fine for most pictures. Best of all, it takes great indoor shots without flash. It is an excellent compromise between point-and-shoot and SLR in size, price, and features. It weighs under a pound which I can tolerate carrying all day, but has a number of SLR-like features as above. Amazon price was lowest around too.

My refurbished D40 has a tiny smudge on all photos which may be a defective ccd. Nikon tech support has to date been very helpful and I have sent the camera to a service center for repair. Hopefully I end up w/ a like-new camera.

This is my first (and probably last) DSLR camera. I am very pleased with it. I purchased it after a lot of research because I wanted the most camera I could get without a large investment. I also wanted a camera that wouldn’t require the next year or so to learn how to use it. This camera really fills the bill. Recently took it to Rocky Mtn. Nation Park and produced excellent photos. I have several Nikon digital point and shoot camera’s but the photo results and quick shutter of the D40 can’t be compared to the point and shoot camera’s. The Ken Rockwell http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d40.htm review settled the decision to but this camera. I’m glad I did. Now for a good flash; the remote and a telephoto.

I am a Canon fan when it comes to point-and-shoot pocket size cameras. For me, money can’t buy a point-and-shoot camera better than an Elph. When it came time to upgrade to a DSLR, I chose Nikon. I have friends in the photography business (Weddings) and they always choose Nikon over Canon. That said, both brands are great.

I do not consider myself a profession, but more of an prosumer. I chose the D40 because I wanted a lightweight DSLR for vacations and college football games. Yes, this camera is great for college football. While it only does 2.5 frames/sec, I find that it is more than enough for my needs.

You can get more megapixels now, but it is not necessary. Most will probably choose the D60 or the new D5000 over the D40. When I chose the D40, I was choosing based on several factors, including price. The D40 was the least expensive at the time. Plus, I put the money I saved into extra betteries and memory cards. 6.1 megapixels is enough for me and I feel that it is a good balance between photo size and defintion. You can crop nicely, even at 6.1 megapixels. This camera is smaller is size and is lighter in weight than mosr DSLRs.

I have found the menu settings to be easy to understand and can recall the locations of settings with ease. You can also create a customized menu for your favorite options.

I recently shot vow renewal ceremony with this camera and the additional Sb-400 speedlight flash, bouncing the light off of the ceiling. The camera was more than adequate and took some great photos.

When you read this review, do a price/features comparison for the camera that suits your needs.

Nikon D40 was our first DSLR purchase. Before this we have owned only point and shoot cameras. My colleague and friends convinced me to go for a DSLR. After a lot of reaseach and much debate, we went for the Nikon D40 instead of D60 or D90. I am glad that I went for the Nikon D40 because it is a great entry level camera. I am an amateur and the feature set is just right. It took me about 30 minutes of reading and playing with the camera to figure out the basic modes and start shooting. Took it to Europe and it did a great job in taking the pictures. My wife took a lot of pictures from a moving car and they came out great. The pictures of the Swiss Alps were just amazing along with Lake Luzerne and other pictures

The only drawback is the basic lens. It works fine on landscape. However, the zoom is not enough if you want to take the picture of an individual who is more than 10-12 feet away. If you want to do that, you would have to get an additional lens. Overall, I love the camera. It is light, easy to carry and works very well for an amateur like myself

This camera practically doesn’t need reviews. It’s a Nikon. And I’m sure it’s the best cost x benefit available for a Nikon digital SLR camera. Specially if your are no professional photographer like me.

My advise: buy the basic camera and than choose a camera-less kit that better suites your needs.

And don’t forget that the camera doesn’t have any internal memory and doesn’t come with any memory card either.

This is a great camera, I spent a long time reading reviews about it online before purchasing. After my purchase I started to research more about photography and Nikon, and I ran in to Ken Rockwell’s (aka the Nikon Man) page. Here is his conclusion on the D60:

“The Nikon D60 is a ’sucker’ camera sold mostly to people who are not professional photographers, but who are impressed by meaningless megapixels. Megapixels have nothing to do with picture quality. The less expensive D40 is the same thing as the D60, but better. The D40 is the professional’s vacation camera. It’s what I take when I’m on vacation or with family, too.”"

You can google “Ken Rockwell” for more info. Imagine how I felt after reading this. Nevertheless I enjoy my D60, and think its a very good camera for introduction to DSLR.

I purchase the Camera from Cameta Camera, here on Amazon. The Camera is great. It’s very easy to use and takes excellent pictures. I only have one complaint about the camera. The sensor that turns off the LCD screen when you put your face up to the viewfinder is WAY to sensitive. If you happen to be in a certain kind of light, for instance under a tree where the sun/shade is sporadic, the screen will get confused and blink on and off repeatedly. Check the forums and you’ll see it’s a common problem with the D60. When it starts to do this, it’s best to just turn the Auto off function off until you are in better light. I think it’s just a shoddy design flaw. It’s not a huge deal, it’s just when you dump a few hundred dollars on something, you expect it to work flawlessly. No such luck. Other than that, it’s a great camera.

Now a word about the seller. Take from this what you will. I bought my D60 here on Amazon from Cameta Camera. They supposedly sell a Nikon Factory Refurbished D60. That is NOT true. I don’t know hoe they get away with such false advertising. When I purchased the product, I was sent an invoice that said “Nikon D60 Factory Demo”. These are cameras that have been used for advertising purposes in stores, trade shows, etc. That is not what I ordered or wanted. I immediately called Cameta and spoke to a very friendly customer service representative who assured me that the camera I ordered was indeed a Factory Refurbished product and that the invoice was simply wrong. She even said that the invoice said Factory Demo because they were having a problem with their software. That was a lie. Later, when I was having problems with the LCD screen, I spoke to their technical support representative, who shed light on their products. He said that when they are listing an item, Amazon does not have an option for “Factory Demo” and so they have to select “Refurbished”. When I expressed my disappointment, the Representative actually said, “If it will make you feel better if I tell you it’s refurbished, I’ll tell you it’s refurbished.” Pretty shocking. So, a word to the wise. If you want a Factory Refurbished D60, do not order it from Cameta.

Almost 30 years ago all I had was an SLR and loved it. My Minolta XG cameras were wonderful and took better pictures than almost anything I have ever had. Eventually they started having issues and film became almost obsolete. I used Canon P and S digital cameras for many years and recently bought a Panasonic Lumix TZ5 which is fabulous. I wanted to get back in to SLR and did much research and tried many hands on displays in local stores. I also spoke to many people in local camera shops and they all suggested getting the D60 over the D40 as well as the Rebel XSi assuming I could afford the D60. The Rebel XSi is much bigger than the D60, and for the money the D60 was saving me, virtually all stated the D60 was a much better value then the Rebel, and that picture quality between the two was virtually identical. Costco had a package for $699.00 which included D60, 1GB card (almost worthless now), two VR lenses (18-55 and 55-200 Nikon) and case. The case was worthless as it was way to small for everything. After a few days, I decided I did not want to mess with changing out lenses, and since the “free” Nikon bag was too small, plus the tax was high where I bought, brought back to Costco. There was nothing special about the two Nikon Lenses either and I found that when using the 18-55mm lens with a skylight and polarizing filter, when at the widest angle setting, 18mm, the two filters together were too thick and caused distortion in the view. The D60 itself was just “OK”, not great but then again I did not have much use. I did like the many optional features and options the camera offered. I then saw on Amazon a special version, “black gold” (body only) and I decided to order from Amazon with the Tamron 18-200mm single lens and although the Tamron lacks “VR” I still paid MUCH less than the Costco package and also ordered the remote and an extra battery and a couple of filters to boot.

It was a great deal with $50.00 off and I trust Amazon anyway.

As far as the actual pictures the initial camera took, I did not have much experience, but based on what I saw so far seemed ok. There was a difference I saw when using “P” setting versus “AUTO” and did not exactly understand all the menu options, but the Nikon D60 fit really well in my hands, was easy to use, felt sturdy and I will give another chance. Also the “black gold” special version sure looks nice.

On a final note, I did not buy an SLR for the “live View” and that sort of defeats the purpose for me of an SLR. I also could care less about what, if any, software comes with the camera. All I want is a decent SLR and lens for around what I paid. Even if the software was real bad, and as the D60 comes, with no “live view”, I would not let it affect my rating. After I get the D60 I ordered from Amazon, I will update the review.

There is really nothing to say about Nikon. Nikon is Nikon. The camera is great and makes incredible pictures. There is a lot to be learned about the camera and how to use it.

I know that these are no longer on the open market, so my review is simply to explain why I think these are an excellent value on the used market.

Bottom line is this - unless you are going to blow up your photos to poster sized, the 8MP XT is a great choice. The upgrades to later versions give you a larger display screen, sure, but the basic functionality doesn’t change much for at least two generations. While I’d like to be able to preview the picture in the display (which you can’t do on this model), the quality of photos as well as the excellent feature set (all laid out in other reviews) make this an excellent choice.

Combined with the incredible array of excellent lenses, the compact size, excellent battery life and great feature set make the Rebel XT a great choice on the used market.

The Canon Rebel XT is a great entry level camera for the new Digital SLR photographer. If you’re reading a review for a Rebel, I’m going to assume you’re deciding on your first DSLR camera. Let me save you some trouble and stress by saying ALL the entry-level DSLRs, from Canon and Nikon, are fine choices and you really can’t go wrong. The camera body is the cheapest part of the camera you’re likely to purchase, and it’s really the easiest to make a decision on: go to a store, pick up a Rebel, pick up a D80 (the Nikon more or less equivalent) and decide which feels RIGHT. Come back to Amazon and buy that camera. Keep in mind that you’ll probably be a life-long Canon or Nikon SLR owner at that point, as the lenses you’ll later buy for your camera are brand-specific. The same lens will work fine with Rebels and higher-end SLRs, but it’ll never fit a Nikon D-anything.

The kit lens is okay, and if you’re new to Digital SLR’s the kit lens makes a great first lens. There is a lot of noticeable distortion at the 18-20mm zoom range, and it feels like the cheapest part of the camera, but if you’re buying your first Digital SLR it’s no fun to have the UPS guy hand you a brand new camera that can’t take pictures. It’ll be a good lens for your first year, and you’ll learn a lot with it.

I love the XT’s size and feel, the buttons and knobs are in good places, and the camera looks impressive and feels well built. It’s an older model camera but it’s priced very well, especially for new photographers. Battery life is really great, and I hardly ever need to swap batteries when out. I wish the display showed the ISO, as I’m notorious for not checking the ISO and shooting in broad daylight at 800 or 1600 ISO. Newer models display the ISO on the back of the camera. This model also lacks the self-cleaning system, which may or may not be helpful in getting dust out of your camera. The Canon neck strap sucks, so shop around for a better one at your local camera shop.

Keep in mind, you’ll also need to purchase a CF Card (I’d suggest 4 gigs or higher) a tripod, a camera bag and a better neck strap. Also consider a remote and the $90 Canon 50mm 1.8/f lens for low depth of field and low light shooting. Finally, you might want Understanding Exposure, a great book on explaining how light works with ISO, shutter speed and aperture.

If I had to do it all over again I’d happily buy a Rebel XT. I’m looking forward to upgrading to a newer, fancier Rebel next year, but only because I like giving my money to Amazon. There’s no reason I need to upgrade, and there’s no reason not to buy a Rebel XT. I couldn’t be happier.

I owned the 6.0 MP Canon EOS Rebel (300D), which was Canon’s first digital SLR, for several years until an internal mirror latch broke and for just a little more than it would have cost to fix, I purchased (refurbished) the next model up - which is the 350D or EOS Rebel XT.
The XT has been fantastic and a substantial upgrade. It’s lighter (which really does matter when you have a heavy lens on) and faster in many respects than the 300D because of the DIGIC II image processor.
The image sensor (8MP) is comparable to the 20D’s which is 8.2 MP.
The continues shooting speed is also a bit better at 3.0 fps.
The control layout was redesigned with a new drive mode button, new metering mode and AF buttons. I’m still getting used to that but it should not take long. Overall, I can recognize and feel the model upgrade and I’m once again enjoying taking Canon high quality images with this camera.

the camera it’s very good for the price, the lens it’s mediocre but..again, for that price what do you want?
I purchased this camera at Target, it was the last one on the shelf. I got a great price but then I realized why. as I purchased the cf card (in another place since they were out) I noticed the infamous “Err CF” message: the pins were bent. But not only..I decided (shame on me for not returning it) to ship the camera to Canon, I thought it would be fixed for free and then it would be ok. I received the camera back and for a while it’s been working fine. Then it started giving that message again, every now and then, to the point that it was hard to take pictures. I shipped the camera back to Canon and they wanted to charge me for the repair. They said the pins were bent. THEY WEREN’T!! There is a problem with the firmware/hardware in the card reading/writing process. Some cameras have it some don’t. I wouldn’t reccomend this camera.

Up to this point in my ownership of the camera—two years—I have been quite happy with this camera as a camera to get into photography with. I have pulled quite a few shots I have been extremely impressed with. However, I was recently performing some lens sharpness testing, and in the middle of it, my mirror lock-up feature stopped working: it would not record an image at all while that custom function was enabled. I called Canon’s technical support number, and the guy on their end was very friendly and we tried resetting the camera to its default settings and custom functions. When this failed to work, he gave me the address to return it for repairs, not really mentioning that because I was out of warranty that this wouldn’t be a cheap expenditure. I’m sure he couldn’t really speculate as to how much since he didn’t know the problem, but a heads up of the possibility would have been nice. Instead, I got an email notification of the repairs estimate, and it was $210!!!!! Not too much shy of what a person might buy a used or rebuilt camera for on here. For $50, a person can get an extended warranty from Canon for an additional 4 years. I think that would be well worth it, since you know you will pay significantly more than that in repair costs if and when your camera goes south. Something to think seriously about, because it is an electronic item, and the standard warranty of a year doesn’t get you very far. I would have to say that I think Canon’s repair charges are a bit steep though given the total worth of such a camera. I can’t say that I’ll take my shopping to another brand’s camera lineup though, because I do like Canon’s products, but I was just disappointed this time that they couldn’t get that function back up and running for considerably less.

This is a great beginner/intermediate camera. Definitely worth the money and the old Minolta lenses work perfect.
Qi says:

I looked long and hard before deciding on what SLR I wanted to buy to enter the more professional level of digital equipment. I bought the a200 because of the inbody stabilization, included af motor, and great performance across the board. The superior kit lens and ergonomics where just icing on the cake.

I recieved the camera this week. First of all. You can’t use it till you buy a memory card. The manual is ok at best. However if you have a little experience with cameras. You will be happy with the A200 (alpha)..

DO NOT LOAD THE SOFTWARE UNTIL YOU BACK EVERYTHING UP!!!..The first time I tried to load it? My computer would not restart until it went thru troubleshoot mode. So I tried it again..Like the idiot I am…

Then it locked my computer up for good. The only way I could save my computer was with SYSTEM RECOVERY… I lost all my files and started from scratch…Then tried it again..After loading new software for a printer and a Canon camera…With the same result… Locked up on SONY..

The camera is OK…Beware of the software!…

I love the camera….fun to use and learn….takes great pictures!
Thankfully you don’t need the software that comes with it because it crashed my computer. I had to restore…but it let me restore it to a point before I installed the Sony Software so I didn’t lose anything… anyone else have problems with the software? Is there a fix?
