Nikon D40 a marketing stunt?

Colbert was the first to notice there were more than rumours on a new DSLR camera by Nikon.
It’s a low-end model, placed under the current D50 model. A very basic camera indeed (if all specs are correctly gossipped…) that puzzles experienced photographers. Most like more options in an SLR - or prefer a high-end compact camera.
Inexperienced buyers however, may compare it to the significantly higher priced entry DSLR by Canon (the D400, Digital Rebel).
If you don’t care about megapixels and have some good AF-S lenses lying around, this may be a very interesting camera.
If this is the first DSLR you buy, you may be surprised by the expensive lenses you have to buy later: cheaper lenses can’t do auto focus because the in-built focus-motor on Nikons just… isn’t there!
So please consider well before buying this new camera!
