Rating  - Awesome starter camera
I have been shooting with a DSLR for almost a year and the first 10 months were with the Nikon D40. This camera is a great starter camera. It is really easy to learn on, and works great for those who just want to shoot on auto. Plus you can't beat the price!
I recently updated to the nikon d80, and wish I had my D40 back. The D80 underexposes everything.
The reason I got rid of my D40 was because there were only 3 focusing points, and it can't auto focus with some lenses. I really wanted the Nikkor 50mm 1.8 and it wouldn't auto focus with the D40.
I would buy the D40 again and hold on to it until I could afford the D300 if I were to do it all again.
Also, the resale price was good. I bought this camera for a really good deal at $450 almost a year ago and sold it recently for $400. That is only a $50 loss for a whole year worth of pictures- Awesome!
Rating  - Awesome entry level DSLR
Awesome camera! Takes amazing pictures for any level of photographer. The camera is quick to take the shot, and once you become familiar with its functions and operations, its quick and easy. Good price for an entry level DSLR camera that comes with an all around "day to day" lens. Please, read reviews and make sure that this camera is what you want. The camera is not the important piece for quality shots, its shot composure. Ive taken shots with a lowend 3MP point and shoot that blow this camera away. The biggest thing to remember if you want great photographs is to remember to compose your shot; think about lighting, background, foreground and most importantly what is in focus. Take the shot and you will be amazed with what you get. This camera takes huge resolution pictures and outputs them in JPG or NEF (Raw format). I would suggest shooting in Nikon Raw format (NEF) and then converting it to whatever format you need.
90% out of 100 for this camera. 10% minus because in my opinion they should give you a 4GB SDHC card with the camera considering how much it cost and how little the SDHC cards do cost.
Rating - D40 Nikon is excellent!
My sister-in-law was prodding me to move away from 35mm photography and take a stab at digital format. I have used several of the small cameras from Kodak, but knew I needed a SLR if I was going to get serious.
The D40 has worked like a charm. The settings are easy to understand and the pictures so far have been excellent. One note: I did sit down with the camera and the manual and go through it page by page. There is a learning curve, but it is not steep.
Very good product that I am glad to carry with me everywhere I go on a regular basis.
Rating - Excellent camera
I sincerely think that this is an excellent camera. You can't have anything better for this price.
