- Photos OK to edit
Here are the cons of the D40, that I know my D80 can do:
Of those, the only ones that would bother me (other than the deal breaker lens limitation) are the info-panel on LCD, no bracketing and only three Focus areas. Again - they'll both take fantastic photo's. She can either outgrow the D40, or grow into the D80. With the price of both cameras, theres no way I'd buy a D70/s, and would be hard pressed to purchase the D50 over the D40.
- No lens motor in body means non-AF-S/AF-I lenses are manual focus only
- Disappointingly RAW+JPEG setting only records Basic quality JPEG's
- No status LCD panel on top of camera (we hate to see these go)
- No exposure or white balance bracketing
- No hard buttons (without customizing) for ISO or White Balance
- No depth-of-field preview
- Occasional visibility of moire artifacts (although seldom)
- Fixed exposure steps (1/3 EV)
- Disappointing automatic white balance performance in incandescent light
- No RAW adjustment with supplied PictureProject, only simple conversion
- Limited image parameter adjustment (especially for color saturation)
