This Week Check Out the Nikon D40 and D60

This week I’ve been looking over several different digital cameras on sale. I’ve chosen two different cameras for today’s {digital camera hobbyiests|review}. The Nikon D60 Slr and the Nikon D40 DSlr. While both have excellent features, they are lightweight and easy for the beginner, there are some note-worthy differences. 

Let’s take a peek at the details of the Nikon D60 first:Nikon D60 w/AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR -Exclusive Black Gold Special Edition. This camera has good value for it’s price, it is of high quality and pretty much does it all. 

As usual for a digital camera it’s light-weight and so easy to use that anyone in the family can take professional photos. I’m very pleased to say that I’d recommend this camera to anyone looking for an affordable Digital SLR camera. Some people enjoy knowing the actual date each picture has been taken. The Nikon D60 allows you to turn the imprinting date feature on and off as you desire. This feature is located in the bottom right corner of the camera. Pretty much everything you would normally associate with the DSLR’s are there. They truly offer infinite choices among manual, scene, programmed and automatic modes. 

I’d give the Nikon D60 a thumbs up for both the novice and semi pro’s. If you can find this digital camera on sale, that’s a nice bonus. The next camera I’ve chosen for my review is the Nikon D40 DSlr. The details of this camera are as follows: 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor lens. 

Perhaps you are finding yourself wanting to dive into the world of photography. The Nikon D40 is easy to use, takes super pictures in automatic mode and is quite an impressive digital camera. 

This digital camera is quite comfortable for the novice to use. It’s controls are simple, and the camera seems to be one with durability. It is also great for the casual hobbyist or someone becoming a little more serious in digital photography. It’s very versatile too. Whether you’re taking wider shots trying to take in the outdoors or getting those close up and personal shots, you have full control over that perfect shot. 

Easy manual modes make this one of the better digitals camera on sale for the beginner. It may be a little bit larger than some prefer in a digital camera. You may want to hold it for a little while, get used to the feel and weight to see if it’s a little heavier than your comfort zone allows. 

These are not the cheapest digital cameras on sale, but they are some of the better buys for the somewhat serious beginner or the more casual digital photography hobbyist. 

You’ll find these particular digital cameras for sale this week at a variety of electronic outlets. I wouldn’t classify either of these cameras in the discount digital camera field, but discounted merchandise is sometimes along the lines of the, ‘you get what you pay for’ buyers plan.
