[maevetaylorkx]

@souljaboyinthehood it looks like the distance from what is semi expert and expert is smaller these days. d7000 is all we need. go to... freedslr . co m remove spaces and take a chance to bring home a new Nikon D7000

[Macinabit]

[jstrings00]

[nikonguy102]

What a stupid ass

[neo36uk]

thanks great video very well explained :-)

[fendergolden1]

@neo36uk It appears that the screen is not adjustable like on the nikon p90 and 100 is that correct?

[ShaneRudy]

this was nice, it was like a little mini lesson in a review!

[nicapretty]

is this good for beginners?

[mehmetyc]

this is not even close to a tutorial or review...

this guy is a salesman who know a couple of photo terms but in the end all he talks is errrm nothing....

[meatwad4900]

._. that's why the title is called 'overview' not review or tutorial..

[trappedteen]

i want one so bad!!!

[Grantrule]

sometimes i see somthing and i want and beg my parents for it! this i want so bad im actually willing to pay 450 for it! lol! jk

but seriousley this looks like a great camera, ive watched100s of vids of it over a 5 month period, and ive gone to bestbuy and used it several times... cant wait til i get bday money!

[MikeyTheHippie]

Excellent video, Very helpful. It's actually quite funny, Before I watched this video I was planning on buying the D40, And that same 55-200 Nikkor lens you recommended.

Now my decision is final, So thank you for the reassuring video.

[adiksagadget]

jrcomputerworld makes great reviews...keep it up!!!

[NalaNosivad]

Good video, but.. saying every dSLR has a full size sensor is seriously misleading.

[prisonson]

nice video man

thanks for ur time to upload it

[ozzie147]

can anyone recomend me a cheap fisheye for the nikon d40?

[ozzie147]

i do skateboarking, ive got the nikon d40 and when i take a picture the shutter snaps really quickly but the pic comes out blurred, why is this??

[wporchard]

It is a common misunderstanding that it's fast shutter that stops motion. However, it is actually the flash that does it. What I would suggest is that you get a speedlight, along with a fast shutter speed. Hope this helps!

[ozzie147]

cool, but what is a speedlight, and btw it better not be expensive coz i am really skint atm

[wporchard]

A speedlight is basically nikon's flash unit, you know the big flashes you see on professional cameras? However, knowing nikon, the flashes are a little pricey. Maybe you could try out your built in flash first to see if it's good enough. If not, you could get a third party flash instead of nikons! You can get some really cheap ones at around US$60, but make sure it's compatible with the d40!

[Willthedrummer92]

If you can't afford a flash....Go into aperture priority mode (the "A" on the control dial) and set the F-stop number to the lowest possible. Then set your ISO to a high value such as ISO 1600, this will be "noisier" than a lower ISO, but will help to create a faster shutter speed.

Flash will help though, but you should take the time to learn how use it properly if you get one (as well as your camera).

Hope this helps

You aren't focusing it, Hold the button down half way, and when you want to snap it press the button down the rest.

[ozzie147]

i know that, u cant take a picture with out doing that unless ur in manual focass

[2fast4u560]

well there are many reasons but a tripod would probaly work 4 u.

[geedunk13]

Very nice Im getting the D40 kit in 2 weeks and in a few months I will get the 55-200 VR lense

[musicfuse]

I wouldn't waste money on the 55-200mm lens because it as limited usage and can't be used on pro full frame cameras or film camera, basically it's not a compatible lens for most cameras. I say most because film cameras have many many more bodys than Digital now. you be thinking that it don't matter but I think within a few years all DSLRs will be full frame FX cameras and will be incompatible with DX 55-200mm lens or any DX lens. 70-300mm is full frame and can be used on any nikon.better optics

[babaloolabeast]

this was so helpful! thank you!

[fellythekid]

"essentially" haha you said it like 40 times, but great vid

[musicfuse]

essentially that's very true

[juj1n]
