This Week Check Out the Nikon D40 and D60

If you’re looking for a solid buy in the area of digital cameras on sale. This week I’ve selected two for my review. The Nikon D4 and the Nikon D40 DSlr. Both are the Slr type and they each are priced between $450.00 and $600.00. Depending on the sale, perks and what-knots. 

The Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera details:Nikon D60 w/AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR -Exclusive Black Gold Special Edition. A very nice selection of fun features and a quality camera with good pricing value. 

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. 

Both the semi-pro photographer and the novice camera hobbyist will enjoy this digital camera. My second selection for this 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 wonderful pictures in automatic mode and is quite an impressive digital camera. 

Comfortable controls, easy to use and it’s of a nice strong construction. It is lightweight, but a little heavier than some. 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. 

Simple 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. 

Sales come and go fast, so hurry on down to your local electronics outlet to check these two little digital cameras for sale out. 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.
