The Nikon D40 is a 6.0 megapixel digital SLR that comes in a compact size with many features found on smaller point-and-shoot cameras. It was designed to ease the transition of the hobbyist photographer into more advanced photography. The D40 comes with an 18-55 lens and can shoot 2.5 frames per second. Many photographers like to set the time on their camera so that their images will have an accurate date and time stamp on them.
