Nikon D40

Today, Nikon has announced a new digital SLR, the lightweight D40. What is noteworthy about this entry level DSLR is its price, US$599, including consumer zoom lens. While not as exciting as the D2, D200 or D70s, this model opens up a huge market place for Nikon. Its specs are not bad but perhaps we should wait for some of the usual reviews to appear before getting too excited!
