Dpreview D40 review is up

[jammy2]

Just a heads-up, the dpreview review of the D40 is up. Looks like a very nice camera for the intended market. Nikon managed to squeeze some improvement like better shooting buffer and nifty image processing into a well-designed and responsive body=)

Thanks, it is good to see the review is pretty much in favour. No regrets since buying the D40, it is great to use, lives up to the review, well aware AF cannot work on all lenses - that's a non-issue with me as it is not the only Nikon pony in our little stable (D70, D50). Absolutely love it, no regrets.

One whinge - spare batteries were not released in Melbourne along with the kits, it is a new battery design, no third-parties yet available. Waiting for the spare battery is a reminder of waiting for the D200 to hit the shops. Waiting, waiting. Okay I have not had to depend on the one battery yet for a full day's shooting, but it should be my choice to do that if it suited me. Whilst this supply ?oversight is annoying, it takes nothing away from how much I love the D40.
