Nikon D40 – My First Digital SLR Camera

107 Comments [ Posted in Camera & Photography ]

After a long time of shooting with Point & Shoot, I finally decided to move to SLR to have more control over photos i capture… After a lot of research I finally ended up with Nikon D40 (with 18-55mm lens) as my first dSLR

Also bought SB-400 external flash, a tripod, UV Filter and carrying case with it

Hello Zahid,

Can u tell how much you pay in total for D40, speedlight, tripod and filter. I also live in Karachi and for quiet a long time thinking of switching from P&S to dSLR. The Nikon dealer in Karachi is charging way too much for D40 although if I order it from US it would cost me $570 with shipping i.e around Rs. 34,770.
Can u also share your experience with your first dSLR.
Posted by Zahid on February 26, 2008 at 11:37 pm

I got it for Rs.32000 (D40 body + 18-55mm lens),
SB-400 @ Rs.8500, Normal Tripod would be @ Rs.1000, UV Filter @ Rs.400, Extra EN-EL9 Battery @ Rs.1500.

everything about this cam is better than my Canon Powershot A85 & Canon SD850 IS.
When i got it first, it had a dead pixel on the LCD so I replaced that with another Now I just had some hardware problem 2 days ago and Shutter has stopped working and have sent it for the repair. (it was a bad luck)

But honestly, D40 is superb if you are just moving from P&S, and Im happy with it

also check KenRockwell.com, you will find a lot of useful info there..

hey can u tell me frm where in lahore can i purchase it??
Posted by Zahid on March 28, 2008 at 10:21 pm

I am not too sure about lahore.. a friend said ke theres a market for cameras near Gawal Mandi. You may give it a try..

Posted by Nida on March 31, 2008 at 11:33 am

n wat abt da prbs u hav mentiond ur facin wid it?
Posted by Zahid on March 31, 2008 at 12:01 pm

Nida: Nah, I’m not a pro photographer, just a hobbyist
The problem i faced was just a bad luck.. usually you don’t get such problems.

By reading your comments i can assume that its your first digital camera? if so, why don’t you look at some Point&Shoot cameras? I love my Canon SD850, and it has an excellent image quality.. You should consider it as well

Things you should be keeping in your mind totally depends on what you need. If I were to get a camera I would check the following(listing other things as well that are considered while buying):

1. Image Stabilization – Reduces the chances of blurry images due to hand shake.
2. Optical Zoom – It depends on you how close you need to see your subject.. i never zoom with my P&S. and thinking about getting a 55-200mm lens for D40.
3. MegaPixels – Its worth when you want to print large or crop more.. I was happy with my 4MP Canon A85, D40 is 6MP and SD850 is 8MP, you decide how many pixels you need.
4. Image Quality, High ISO Performance, Low light Performance…
5. There are many other things that a person would consider before buying, please read the reviews about the model you are interested in, at, reviews.cnet.com, betterphotos.com, dpreview.com and amazon.com. You may also need extra Memory Cards and Batteries if you are going out for hours.

Note: Above information is just what i think.. other people may not agree to me and may have some different choices, I’m not responsible for that

Dear Zahid,
eid mubarak and hope you are doing well. I am interested in having a digital SLR camera and after much research i have decided to have a Nikon D40. I know there is little difference between D60 and D40, however, D60 is more expensive (Ken Rockwell says D 40 is even better). I have searched on the net, called the Nikon dealer but D 40 is not available anywhere. the dealer says it doesnt come from the company, as D 60 has replaced it. i dont want to spend more money on D 60, i would rather buy some accessories with D 40 with same amount. do you have any idea where to buy this camera in Lahore? if not, can you please give me the phone of Karachi wala guy so that i can call him and ask if it is available with him any more (the one you bought it from)? any update on your satisfaction level with the camera?
thanks a lot!! i am waiting anxiously for your reply.

Mubashir: D40 is my first ever dSLR, and i bought it with the intention of upgrading to an upper model once i get used to manual controls and usability of a dSLR.

I love my D40, but yea, it lacks some features, such as Exposure Bracketing, and no dedicated button to change the ISO settings etc. but overall its worth every paisa u spend on it

And i will hopefully be upgrading to D90 in 2 or 3 months

According to a friend, there is a camera market near Gawal Mandi in Lahore.
I bought mine through Amin Electronics at Saddar Camera Market (Hakim Centre), the guy’s name is Farhan.. you can call him @ 0322-2495434

Regards,
Posted by Mubasher Saeed on October 6, 2008 at 4:23 pm

thanks a billion buddy. i contacted the Gawalmandi market guy (they are distributors from Nikon) and they had no D40 (cos of course they would want to sell more expensive version of D40, which is D60). they dont have even D 50. a friend of mine who is professional photographer loves D 50. i would visit the Nikon shop and ask about D 90 also, and the Saddar-karachi wala guy about D 40.
thanks for the info.

Posted by Mubasher Saeed on October 6, 2008 at 8:28 pm

Hi,
I spoken to that Saddar wala guy (Farhan), i got the impression that there is something fishy about that market or people. he said that D 40 and D 50 are out of stock, but he can arrange for me (i wonder how) but that will be without Warranty. he quoted different prices for with and without warranty of the model D 60… i asked why is so, he said, the one without warranty doesnt come directly from the company or the usual procedure (smuggling??) and he even quoted higher price of with-warranty than quoted by the Nikon dealer in Lahore. I think i should go for a D 60 from the reliable dealer in Lahore.
any suggestion?
thanks,
M
Posted by Zahid on October 6, 2008 at 10:11 pm

Cameras sold by Official Nikon dealers have the warranty! I have no idea about official rates here in Karachi..

Those without warranty are directly imported or hand carried by the passengers for Market people (shops). And they then sell for lower profits They are not smuggled, but directly bough from Dubai for the sake of selling here..

Hi Zahid !

I’ve reading ur blog yesterday and come to know from the comments that you are planning to buy Nikon D90 (Coooooooooooool) !

If you are not intrested than could you please help me out to buy the used D40 or D40X !
Waiting for you reply…… !
Posted by Fahim Rauf on October 25, 2008 at 7:54 pm

Hello Zahid,

I am new to photography and I have the intention to buy a good digital camera with some nice image quality and zooming. By doing some research on internet i found that there are two kind of cameras, the one is point & shoot and the other is DSLR.
There are some cameras that i found good reviews about them on different websites.

1- Canon Powershot S5 IS (8 MP, 12X optical zoom) (Point & Shoot)
2- Nikon D40 (DSLR)

There are some other newly released cameras but i didn’t find any reviews about them.
1- Canon Powershot SX10 IS (10 MP, 20X optical zoom) (Point & Shoot)
2- Nikon P80 (10 MP, 18X optical zoom) (Point & Shoot)

I want you to guide me that being a newbie what camera should i buy?

Remember that my budget is around 30K-40K PKR.

Thanks
Regards,
Fahim Rauf
Posted by Zahid on October 25, 2008 at 8:17 pm

Dear Fahim,
out of your list of 4, only D40 is a dSLR. Go for dSLR if you are a serious hobbyist, otherwise a Point&Shoot performs very well for a normal user.

Go for either Canon or Nikon, both are good!
Posted by Fahim Rauf on October 25, 2008 at 9:24 pm

Dear Zahid,

Thanks for you quick response. As I told you that i am a newbie in the field of photography an I am software engineer by profession. I just want to adopt photography as my new hobby. Being a new comer what will you suggest, a P&S or dSLR. I mean will I be able to get the best out of dSLR if I am a new to even P&S photography.
Posted by Zahid on October 25, 2008 at 9:41 pm

Look at Canon G10, its a nice newly-launched camera!
If high zoom is necessary, go for Canon or Nikon P&S.

P&S has good image quality too and they are compact and easy to carry around. Look at the images at flickr.com and betterphoto.com

If you have no problem with the size, and willing to have hard time learning everything in the beginning, go for dSLR. They are faster and give you more control over the shots. But, image quality of P&S are similar as well.

Zahid, Could you please guide me what camera make will suit me. I’m not prof photographer, but photography is my hobby. Somebody suggest me following:

hi zahid.
im totally new to this stuf, and i want to buy a digital camera. your blog is really usefull and after reading this i can say i know a little about MP & zoom. i only want your answer,, what is best buy if i am willing to spend 18000/= Rs for a camera and please something like fuji e900 as on my cuzin have this camera and i like its result and movie making too.
please reply as soon as posible coz i have only 3 days left and have to attend a function so would be alot better if i use my own camera.
Posted by Zahid on January 16, 2009 at 8:21 pm

Thanks for the comments!
Get either Canon G10 or Canon SD880. Both are good cameras and must be able to serve your needs quite well.
Posted by Aslam on January 19, 2009 at 3:44 pm

Hello Zahid,
Your sincere efforts in guiding others is commendable. My budget is Rs. 30000 to 35000/- I earlier had decided Canon G10 . I enquired the price in Dubai which is 2599 Dirham ( Approx Rs.57,000/ ) here in Karachi , one is availabale for 37,000/- (w/o warranty ) While in your reply to Guriya whose budget was 18,000 you suggested Canon G10 or Canon SD880. What amount should I reasonably pay here in Karachi for a new piece? Nearly new SONY A200 DSLR is available for 39000/- but I prefer compact. Could u please also recommend any shop / seller in Karachi.
Please guide. Thanks a lot
Posted by Zahid on January 20, 2009 at 8:17 pm

Dear Aslam:

Thanks for appreciating The price difference here in Pakistan and online shops(Amazon/Adorama etc) is minor.. While Dollar was Rs 60, and Nikon D40 $475-$500, you could easily find it here for Rs 32000(w/o warranty).

Warranty doesnt matter much for me, as the normal shop wala’s at Saddar/Regel Center, and authorized dealers get the cams repaired from the same guys, or at least with the same equipments. And cameras hardly have any issue during the first year.

You can find many camera dealers at Saddar(Regal chowk), i prefer Farhan from Amin Electronics!

Asslamualykum Zahid

I’ve seen your blog, and was wondering whether you could give me some advice. I have a Nikon D200, which I accidently fell into water. It is now not working. I was trying to get it repaired, and was trying to find out where I should send my camera in Karachi (and whether anyone could give me a cost for repair). It is not starting up at all at present. My wife is currently in UP More for a wedding.

Thank you

Posted by Ali on April 28, 2009 at 2:38 pm

Salaam.

I’ve been using a P&S camera for the longest time. Always had 35mm P&S canon cameras then in the digital age got the S10 when they first launched then upgraded to the digital elph and in jan 2008 got the canon ixus 70.

Now I’m getting tired of the P&S camera pictures. The pictures are always nice but never spectacular. I think, actually know, that it is time for me to upgrade to dSLR but the question is which one. I’ve been searching for that answer for quite a few days. Till last week I had it narrowed it down to Canon 1000D & Nikon D60, both is Rs.40K region. I would like the new Canon 500D but Rs.70K is too much money for me.
But since yesterday D40 has come in the picture. Apparently what I am reading is the D40 is not obsolete and still a better camera than D60. What would you advice?
Also, I called camera places at regal chowke. D60 & 1000D are readily available for around 43K but when I asked D40 they say it is discontinued but they can arrange it for the same price as D60. Does this sound fishy?

thanks.

Ali
Posted by Zahid on April 28, 2009 at 6:55 pm

At least i would not pay 43K for the D40
check out Canon XSi and Nikon D5000 as well. D40 is a good camera, but it has some limitations as well, thats the reason why im still looking to buy D90 very soon

D40 and D60 are almost same, but its sensor cleaner would be a plus in Pakistan due to dust issues.

Hi zahid
I want to buy a D 40. I live in lahore, but im in currently in khi for a 2 3 days. Ive heard the cams r cheaper in khi!
i dont want to spend more then 35 thousand! would u suggest any other slr camera? anything about 10 Mega Pixels!

D 40 is 6 Mega Pixels! Arent they over charging??
Posted by Zahid on August 30, 2009 at 2:39 pm

@Faraz: Im not sure about the rates, try contacting Farhan (0322-2495434), he has a showroom(Amin Electronics) in Main Saddar Market.

@Amna: I dont think you would be able to find a new D40. Try looking for a Canon EOS 1000D(Rebel XS) at Saddar/Regal Chowk. Any Nikon or Canon would be fine. You might also need to consider Sony or Olympus if these end up the only choices within you budget.

MegaPixel has nothing to do with the picture quality of the camera, and you will not be using even 6MP More MegaPixels are important if you’re printing huge or need to crop within a photo.

Dear All & Zahid sb,

With all the due respect it is nice reading your blog, just bought D3000 ( i was reading since an year for DSLR’s finally bought that for Rs : 53,500 accessories includes UV Filter, Mid Size BAG tagged CAMTRONIX, 4gb High Speed Class 6 Card ) although deal was Ok as camera alone was costing me 51,000 with One Yr / Warranty… now a days D40 even D60 is not available although i tried buying them but nil found in my area,

Its worth reading some reviews / Comments on DSLR although there are few ppl reading/writing those in PAK…. Do you have some pics page on digital media uploaders like flicr or google as i am interested to see pak talent and upload / share mine

For dSLR, Trying finding Nikon D40. For a new entry-level Nikons or Canons you would need to raise your budget for that. Sony Olympus might work too.

Any good Point&Shoot Canon or Nikon should be available within your range. I would highly recommend Canon S90, SD960, or SD970.

Hi Zahid,

Wow learnt alot about DSLR’s by just reading comments here. I want to buy my first DSLR. I have been using a Sony Cybershot for the past 2 years but now feel like upgrading to a DSLR. But the prob is my budget. Can you please suggest the best DSLR under 25k?
Posted by Zahid on November 26, 2010 at 11:54 am

Thanks
Try finding out used Nikon D40, Sony A3xx, Canon 400D(XTi).. they should be close to your budget.

I wanted to buy nikon d40..here in saddar market karachi a shop is offering a NEW d40 for 36,000/ with 18-55 lense….
i asked that how can it be NEW as production is stopped years back..but he said that it is from old stock…
can anyone please help on this..as i would prefer new over old d40…bt the NEW thing is confusing me…is there anything fishy or the shopkeeper is correct..
(the used d40s on the shop were of around 30,000 with lense…but not in very good condition)
Regards, Ahmed
