I have been looking for this manual FOREVER! I received my NEW D40 for Christmas in 2006 when my granddaughter was 2 years old. I had a coolpix, the recovery was so slow. My granddaughter is now 12 yrs and I still have that same D40. I have taken over 100k PLUS pics of just her.Oddly enough, it's easier to find lenses than it has been finding this guide. It's never in stock or at the library. I have learned a little about my camera somewhat just by the web and some low level classes.NOW that I FINALLY have it, YEAH!!! Even the first portion..quick start explains items I didn't know. I'm so happy that I can now actually use the camera to it's true extent. I have always known the camera was smarter than me.I never feel 'like a poor stepchild' using this camera b/c EVERYONE -especially photo people- love this camera. AND they are very impressed that I have one and it's still in perfect condition. It has been out of production for so long, but I love mine and love that I can still add lenses.Now, thanks to you, I will not be choosing a lens or shoot mode in my normal trial by error. I have missed shots trying to find the perfect lens, thinking I can always do better.
