Great, solid, quality camera
I'm extremely happy with the purchase of the Nikon D40 / 18-135 Nikkor lens combo. I wasn't sure if I'd like the lens, since it doesn't have VR and sometimes does not receive the best review. I was, however, pleasantly surprised with the quality of images produced with this lens. It's very sharp, has a nice bokeh and provides a great focal range for normal, everyday shooting.
The camera itself is GREAT. I'm impressed with the firmware/interface of this device and find it very intuitively designed. It's easy to make relatively customized adjustments on the fly. I HIGHLY recommend the D40 over Canon equivalents. I've used the Digital Rebel, the XT and XTi, and this camera shoots better photos, is easier to use and is more powerful.
I recommend this lens(18-135) over the traditional 18-55 kit lens; although it's a nice lens, you'll get tired of it's limits quickly. I also recommend the purchase of an ML-3 remote for taking night shots and family portraits that you actually want to be in! (no running back into the frame after setting the timer)
I plan to add a 70-300 VR, SB-600 speedlite, and a filter set to complete this useful photo arsenal. Possible other additions include a 10.5mm fisheye, 60mm Macro and a sturdy tripod.
