My two Nikon SLR cameras: F65 film SLR and D40 digital SLR.

I got the Nikon F65 film SLR camera for my 27th birthday in 2001. It's a fine camera that has served me well and will continue to serve me well in the future, but I thought it was about time that I got a digital SLR, so I went to Henry's on Bank Street in Ottawa and purchased a used Nikon D40 DSLR camera for $300. It's pretty much the only DSLR camera in my price range, or at least the only one I could afford that I could use with the 2 Nikkor lenses I already have.

The Nikon D40 only shoots 6 megapixel shots, but that's a decent size. I wasn't looking for a camera with more megapixels than my pocket Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS75, I just want sharper and more vivid images that only SLR cameras can provide.

As of this writing, I haven't actually shot anything with the D40 since I had to recharge the battery pack before I could use it.
