My life, on tumblr. Probably the most realistic me you can find online. Which means I am NSFW most of the time, offensive other times, and the rest of the time I am just weird.

 

So my girlfriend lent me her Nikon D40…

It’s… interesting. It’s not something I can see using ‘blind’ as it were. You can’t keep the LCD off between shots from what I can tell. The menus are sometimes a bit inside out or so. The dial on the back for your thumb to adjust the ISO is nice, but a bit stiff. The fact that I have to curl my hand weird to push the button so I can adjust the aperture with the dial I mentioned prior is odd. There’s a nice button on for your thumb on the side that can be reconfigured, but not for aperture… or anything really useful from what I can tell. The viewfinder readout is okay, but I think it could offer up some more information, why not put some things on the sides as opposed to jamming it all on the bottom? 

That all being said, I still like it as a dSLR. I am really glad she lent it to me! :D
