Getting a Nikon D40

Author: Myra  //  Category: Uncategorized

I’m going to get a Nikon D40 sometime today. Being able to take decent photographs with SLRs would be something very useful to understand but I don’t think it’s my creative outlet. I’m probably going to try to learn as many technical things as possible (by self, maybe a workshop? Not sure!). It’ll be very useful for creating “rough” mock-ups of concepts (that require photographs), my blogs (especially for my Queen West Love Blog) and more!

After reading reviews about the Nikon D40 and Nikon D60, apparently the differences between the two are not significantly enough to pay more money for the latest Nikon version… Some reviews even state that the D60 is a downgrade from the D40! I really don’t know a lot about SLRs so hopefully my choice is okay..
