Two Digital Cameras For the Beginner - Nikon D60 and Nikon D40

If you're looking for a solid buy in the area of digital cameras on sale. This week I've selected two for my review. The Nikon D4 and the Nikon D40 DSlr. Both are the Slr type and they both are within the price range between $450.00 and $600.00. Depending on the sale, perks and what-knots. Image via Wikipedia

The Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera details:Nikon D60 w/AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR -Exclusive Black Gold Special Edition. This camera has good value for it's price, it is of high quality and pretty much does it all.

What's so fantastic about these small but powerful cameras is the user-friendly features. I'm very pleased to say that I'd recommend this camera to anyone looking for an affordable Digital SLR camera. Some people enjoy knowing the actual date each picture has been taken. The Nikon D60 allows you to turn the imprinting date feature on and off as you desire. This feature is located in the bottom right corner of the camera. Pretty much everything you would normally associate with the DSLR's are there. You'll find a super selection of choices for your manual modes, programmed modes, and even the automatic modes.

I'd give the Nikon D60 a thumbs up for both the novice and semi pro's. If you can find this digital camera on sale, that's a nice bonus. The next camera I've chosen for my review is the Nikon D40 DSlr. The details of this camera are as follows: 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor lens.

Perhaps you are finding yourself wanting to dive into the world of photography. The Nikon D40 is easy to use, takes wonderful pictures in automatic mode and is quite an impressive digital camera.

Comfortable controls, easy to use and it's of a nice strong construction. It is lightweight, but a little heavier than some. It is also great for the casual hobbyist or someone becoming a little more serious in digital photography. A nice camera for scrap-booking, close up or full body portraits as well as scenery pictures. You are in full control for taking the perfect picture for your particular needs.

Easy manual modes make this one of the better digitals camera on sale for the beginner. It may be a little bit larger than some prefer in a digital camera. While you're in the store, hold it up and take a few shots to get a better judge of the weight. Some people may find this just a tad to heavy for their taste. This is why I do recommend you take the opportunity to visit your local electronics outlet. This way, you can pick it up and play with it a bit before you make any long lasting decisions.

These are not the cheapest digital cameras on sale, but they are some of the better buys for the somewhat serious beginner or the more casual digital photography hobbyist.

Sales come and go fast, so hurry on down to your local electronics outlet to check these two little digital cameras for sale out. I wouldn't classify either of these cameras in the discount digital camera field, but discounted merchandise is sometimes along the lines of the, 'you get what you pay for' buyers plan.
