Like all entry level DSLR cameras, the new D40 has also been stripped down to cater to budding photographers who are decidedly more cost conscious and have limited photography proficiency. Even so, the D40 is by no means crippled. Within its plastic housing is a 6-megapixel image sensor brought over from the D50; processing engine from the D200 and a 420-pixel sensor 3D Color Matrix Metering II from the D80. Distinctive about the D40 however, is its small footprint, which is fitting for the baby Nikon DSLR. Nikon has done a really commendable job keeping its dimensions at 126 x 64 x 94mm and weight at only 500 grams.
