Nikon D40 - Digital Camera Review
Digital Camera Review have published their review of the Nikon D40 DSLR camera. 'Since this is a digital SLR, you get a true optical viewfinder. The viewfinder is actually very nice and bright. A diopter adjustment is available so that the focus point marks and information in the viewfinder are sharp. The viewfinder covers about 95% of the actual captured image. While shooting, camera settings (focus, metering, exposure compensation, aperture, shutter speed, etc) are very visible in green text and symbols below the frame.
For reviewing your images and working in the menu system, there is a single 2.5 inch LCD that has 230K pixels of resolution. To make the camera and its “info” display less intimidating, Nikon provides several options for the style of display, including a very polished graphical display. You can choose from "graphical", "classic" and "wallpaper" display styles. The graphical interface displays all of the camera settings, but the information is laid out very simply. The classic view shows all the information that you need to know. The wallpaper mode lets you choose one of your images as wallpaper behind a layout similar to graphical mode. Shots of the interfaces are below.'
