Collectors Notes
Released in late 2006, the D40 was Nikon’s first DSLR without an in-body AF motor, requiring AF-S or AF-I lenses for autofocus. Despite this, it offered superb image quality from its 6.1MP CCD sensor and became a cult classic for its simplicity and tonal depth. With a low shutter count and clean operation, this unit is ideal for use, display, or modification.
