Incredibly simple to use, incredible results and an incredibly low price – that’s the irresistible new D40. With a superb 18-55mm AF-S DX Nikkor zoom lens, it’s the most affordable digital SLR on the market and it’s probably the easiest to use too. With perfect pictures at the touch of a button and a huge 2.5-in screen to enjoy them on, the D40 is simply Nikon at its best.

 Quality design, quality build – quality results!

Nikon means quality, and that’s exactly what you get with the D40. Using the same professional quality technology as the acclaimed Nikon D80, including 3D Colour Matrix Metering II, high-precision image-processing algorithms and image-optimising features, you know your pictures will be a cut above the rest.

 6.0 megapixel

The generous six megapixel resolution gives you pin-sharp images even with huge A3 prints!

 2.5 frames per second shooting

Take up to 100 action shots at approx. 2.5 frames per second using Contiuous Shooting Mode.

 Large, bright 2.5-inch LCD screen

Using the D40’s superb features is easy, thanks to the huge 2.5-inch screen, which displays full shooting information and handy access to all your image settings – you can even personalise the display.

 Extraordinary camera, affordable price

With Nikon you’re buying into a premium product – and with the D40 it’s at an amazingly affordable price for a high quality D40 body, plus an incredibly versatile 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 zoom lens for shooting tight portraits, expansive landscapes and everything in between.

 Long-lasting battery

The newly developed Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL9 lets you take up to 470 shots in single-frame shooting mode.
 

 Compact, take-anywhere design

The D40 is small but perfectly formed – as easily hand-held and portable as a compact digital camera, but offering the technological advantages and lens flexibility that only a digital SLR can. Weighing in at less than 500g (ex-battery), it’s light enough to carry anywhere, yet solid enough to stand up to tough conditions and constant use – because with a camera this good, you’ll want to take it everywhere!
