I am thinking of getting the Nikon D40 Digital SLR camera, and I just wanted to know if it is worth the price, or if i should look into other cameras. Because I would love a Digital SLR camera, even though I am just a mere beginner and have practically no clue about these cameras, I would still like to have one, so I can learn. Thank You
Although it is getting a little old, the D40 is a perfectly fine camera for a beginner. If you are getting a great deal on one (new is about $472.00 including free shipping) I would go for it. If the deal is not that great (more than $350.00 used) I would consider saving a little more money and purchasing the D3000 instead ($585.00 including free shipping from adorama.com). The D3000 is a much easier camera for a beginner (has a nice guide feature), not to mention it just came out on the market so it will hold its resale value better. Also, the D3000 kit lens is a VR lens, whereas D40 kit lens does not have vibration reduction technology, thus making the D3000 an even better value. Check out the two links below for a great review of both cameras.

it’s an ok beginner camera. i would prefer a used mid range dslr than a new entry level one.
if you’re getting it used then go for it.
