Entry level, bottom of the Nikon DSLR range, even when it was brand new in 2006/2007.

Nikon made the decision not to include the internal motor required to auto-focus older Nikkor lenses. As such the D40 can only auto-focus with newer Nikkor lenses which feature built-in motors of their own. ... be particularly careful to check for compatibility with third party lenses. Other lenses will still work on the D40, but you'll need to manually focus them.

If u hav older lens, prob not a newbie 2 photography so D40 is fine 4 beginners.

certainly not at this price for a refurb...

looks cheap.

Target has the D40 for $500, so this is not bad.
