about D40
Superior
Nikon Image Quality: D40's high-resolution image quality
is made possible by Nikon's high-performance 6.1 megapixel Nikon DX
format CCD imaging sensor and exclusive Nikon image processing engine,
assuring impressive sharpness and color.
Easy
Operation and Intuitive Controls: Intuitive controls make
the D40 point-and-shoot simple, enabling even first-time SLR users to
capture beautiful memories perfectly.
The
D40 is the Nikon's Smallest Digital SLR Just over 16
ounces. This incredibly styled and compact D40 makes top-performance
SLR digital photography easier and more convenient than
ever.
Fast
Startup and Instant Shutter Response: Fast startup
combined with instant shutter response and rapid-action shooting (2.5
frames per second) makes it easy to freeze special moments
instantly.
Comes
with 3x 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens:
Designed exclusively for use with Nikon DX-format digital SLRs. Its
super-compact 3x zoom offers Nikkor sharpness and versatility in a
large variety of shooting situations.
Shoot
at up to 2.5 frames per second: The D40 can shoot
continuously up to 2.5 fps, capturing high-quality action sequences of
children in sporting activities such as soccer, tennis and much
more.
2.5-inch
color LCD screen with 3 colorful display options: Playback
images are easy to see, and menus are simple to use with a larger and
brighter color LCD monitor. The large 2.5-inch LCD screen enables image
preview at up to 19 times magnification and has large type fonts and
easy-to-view menus as well as three all-new display options: Classic,
Graphic and Wallpaper.
High-performance
6.1megapixel Nikon DX format CCD imaging sensor: Nikon's
DX format CCD image sensor delivers vivid color and sharp detail, great
for making beautifully detailed enlargements of 16 x 20 inches and
beyond. High resolution also provides room for creative
cropping.
In-Camera
Image Editing: Highly versatile in-camera editing features
include Nikon D-Lighting, Red-Eye Correction, Image Trimming, Image
Overlay, Monochrome (Black and White, Sepia and Cyanotype) along with
Skylight, Warm Tone and Color Balance filter effects. These features
provide greater creative freedom without the need for a computer, for
those who prefer to send pictures directly to a
printer.
New
advanced HELP menu system with Assist Images: The D40's
newly introduced "assist images" help you select the appropriate
settings for many camera features by showing an example image typical
of that setting as well as an advanced HELP Menu for the current item
selected. The D40's Question Mark icon (?) indicates that help is
available for the currently selected item; just press the help button
beside the LCD monitor to see a context sensitive help
page.
Fast,
accurate 3-Area Autofocus: The D40's advanced 3-area AF
system and the refined algorithms inherited from more advanced Nikon
digital SLR cameras deliver fast, efficient and precise autofocus. AF
refinements deliver greater precision with fast, more consistent
subject acquisition and improved focus tracking for consistently
sharper pictures.
Image
Optimization Options: The D40's Image Optimize setting
lets photographers adjust color, contrast and sharpening as well as
other image settings according to the type of scene or output desired.
Settings include: Normal, Softer, Vivid, More Vivid, Portrait, Custom
and Black and White, each of which are automatically adjusted based on
sophisticated Nikon algorithms or user-selected settings for optimum
results.
Built-in
Speedlight with i-TTL automatic flash control: Nikon's
innovative i-TTL flash control evaluates flash exposure with incredible
precision to achieve better automatic flash balance and deliver
outstanding results. The built-in Speedlight is always at the ready and
brings beautiful exposures in darkened conditions as well as adding
sparkle for fill flash in outdoor situations for enhanced twilight
shots or an added impact to daylight
images.
Bright,
accurate SLR viewfinder: A large viewfinder makes
composition easier, and overall viewfinder brightness makes focusing in
low-light photography possible. Its bright and sharp viewfinder, with
0.8x magnification, ensures precise
composition.
Automatic
exposure with 8 Digital-Vari Program Modes: Eight Digital
Vari-Program Modes include: Auto Flash-OFF, Portrait, Landscape, Child,
Sports, Close Up or Night Portrait, each of which adjusts automatically
for optimal results under varied
conditions.
Nikon
3D Color Matrix Metering II: The D40's 3D Color Matrix
Metering II evaluates each scene for brightness, color, contrast, size
and position of shadows and highlights, selected focus area and
camera-to-subject distance, comparing that information against an
onboard database of more than 30,000 actual photographic
scenes.
Unlimited Online Backup for only $4.95 a month

Nikon D80 Reports
The new Nikon D80's combination of high-end features and its 18-135mm
DX kit lens make a killer photographic tool for the amateur and
intermediate photographer who can't afford or justify the extra cost of
the Nikon D200.
|
|
Dust Mapping
This compensates for dust that has accumulated on the sensor when
changing lenses. The D80 keeps track of where the specks are located
and can subtract their effects from subsequent images..
