Nikon D40 w/18mm-to-55mm lens
Excellent feel and compact size ; very customizable menu architecture ; nice guidance for dSLR newbies ; excellent noise characteristics for high-ISO shots
Slow kit lens ; occasionally slow to focus ; only 6 megapixels ; raw editing software costs extra ; control scheme can be awkward ; no automatic sensor cleaning

For the person upgrading from a point and sho...
