Nikon is intent on bringing digital slr cameras to the masses. Their latest entry into the DLSR market, the just announced Nikon D40 is rumored to have a street price of around $500 for the body and lens kit (3x 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor lens included). The D40 will have a 6.1-megapixel sensor, 2.5-inch LCD screen, ISO range of 200 to 1600 and lots of other Nikon bells and whistles.
