Customer Reviews

These guys are very good...
I purchased this camera because I was going on a trip to Africa and wanted a serious camera. Whoa! When you get started with it you will be a bit overwhelmed. Don't be. The auto shoot settings work just fine until you learn all the other things you can do with it. Arrived as promised and was a great price, too. The folks at Cametta have been good. They are nice to talk too (and that is rare here in New York)(you'll get a kick out of their Long Island accents)and they answer questions gladly. Curiously the so-called "expert" there said he did not know a lot about my camera (??!!), he probably uses the more expensive D70 or D80, but gave me a number for Nikon which I call with questions and that works well. Overall a good experience. And I found the best price with them. Warning before you buy: decide what you are going to shoot. The lenses that come with this kit are excellent(al beit the least expensive). But a longer lense; 300 MM and a 12-24 wide angle might be better for what you are shooting, so do you really need this 200mm?,(although at this price hard to pass up) something I found out after I made the purchase (so you really have to decide, something to think about) However, if you are just shooting family and vacation snapshots and things this is an excellent choice and a good step up from a point and shoot. And a great place to get it.

A good D40 package
The D40 is a wonderful camera, great value for money. The package was just right for my needs. The lenses have the new consumer-style plastic casing, which feels less "professional", but seems durable enough and is certainly lightweight. Weight is important if you're lugging the package around all the time. The bag is conveniently sized. The SD card is good for > 2,000 images at my normal settings.

Excellent
Wonderful camera and package. Two lenses and all the appropriate accessories. Very easy to use as a point and shoot. Thinking about giving this to my daughter and getting the D60 for myself.
