Pre-order the Nikon D40 Now

The new Nikon D40, the "entry level" SLR digital camera is available now for pre-order at RitzCamera.com.

The D40 is a lightweight & compact DSLR that emphasizes ease of use; with 8 preprogrammed settings for different shooting conditions, its simplicity -- combined with the high-quality images captured by the 6.1 megapixel CCD sensor and stored by the advanced Image Processing Engine -- makes this the perfect digital SLR for the photographer migrating up from point 'n shoot cameras. Much of the technology in the more expensive D80 and D200 cameras has trickled down to the Nikon D40... the most obvious being the bright, high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD screen on the back of the camera for viewing your shots and accessing all of the menu options.

The D40 is also speedy. It powers up in 0.18 seconds, has no noticeable shutter lag time, and can take up to 100 shots -- storing them as JPG images -- at 2.5 fps (frames per second).

The Nikon D40 is compatible with all Nikon autofocus AF-S and AF-I Nikkor lenses, and is being sold in a bundle for around $599 with Nikon's Picture Project software and an 18-55mm (3X zoom) lens with quality, advanced Nikkor optics including ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and aspherical lenses that minimize aberration (distortion) to give you the sharpest images possible.

To learn more about the features and specifications of the new Nikon D40, and to pre-order this inexpensive DSLR (which should be shipping in December 2006), visit the Nikon D40 information page at RitzCamera.com.
