Author: Nikon CF DC1 Semi Soft Case for Nikon D40 Digital SLR Camera 25355
The Nikon CF-DC1 semi-soft case is an ever-ready style camera case made to carry a Nikon D40 digital SLR camera body and lenses up to 18-135mm Zoom Nikkor. It is an ideal way to protect your camera during travel.

4 Stars consider the cf-d80 first
I own a D60 and went with the CF-D80. It’s nice soft “pleather” and according to the reviews it can accomodate the D80/D90 with a Nikkor 18-200mm lens. I figure this should also accomodate my D60 with the same lens (which I plan on getting soon). So check out that case before deciding on this one.
5 Stars perfect for Nikon D40
It’s a perfect fit with the D40 and the 18-200mm lens. padded enough to provide protection in my sling bag. exactly what I was looking for.
2 Stars VERY soft, not semi soft
I just bought this product. I hoped the case would be a form fitting, minimalist, durable case to protect my camera from being bumped while in the case. Although the case is perhaps more aesthetic, two socks would probably accomplish the same end. Be advised that by “semi soft”, Nikon really does mean soft. There is little semi-ness about its softness.
The manufacturing quality also seems poor, with flimsy stitching on the hinge and a puny velcro latch. The lid fits on loosely to the body of the case. I don’t expect this case to last more than a few years.
On a positive note, the appearance isn’t terrible (although baggier than I hoped). The camera fits in easily, and it’s not hard to fit it with telescopic lens attached to the camera. The case can connect to the neck strap, so you needn’t hold it when you take it out.
All in all, I wouldn’t recommend this item. I would recommend you go to your local camera shop and try fitting your camera into the cases they have and buy one that you can touch and feel. I was disappointed when this arrived.
4 Stars Nikon CF-DC1
I think this product is great. I want a small case that I will be able to throw into a back pack while traveling. This fits the mold perfectly. It does have a snap so it stays attached to the strap while taking photos with is nice. My 55-200 lense fits VERY snug, but it’s not built for it. The only reason I give it a 4 is because it could use just a little more padding. I would recommend to anyone needing a holster case. We’ll see how it works on my trip to San Fran next week.
4 Stars Fits Nikon D60 well
This camera case fits the Nikon D60 well. It is a little awkward to take the camera out of, but still better than bulkier bags. It holds only teh camera and maybe an extra memory card, but not much else. It uses the camera strap itself and does not have a strap of its own.

5 Stars Superior Deal, Quality, and Service
I would recommend this product to any aspiring photographers looking to enter the SLR sector. For what you receive, I found the price to be unmatched by any competitors. The contents of the package provide everything one could imaginably need for the whole digital photographic process. The service met all my expectations with all parts arriving promptly several days after the purchase.
5 Stars Nikon D40 outfit
This is a great rig for an excellent price! Seller really delivered and product arrived quickly. Would definitely buy from them again. Camera takes excellent pictures & comes with many settings, though (so far) I have used only manual settings. A worthy purchase.
5 Stars Nikon D40
Simply Amazing Camera! I highly recommend this camera to any photographer, experienced or inexperienced, whether you just want your pictures to turn out better, or you just want to take better pictures. I have only had this camera for a few weeks, and I’m already taking more pictures with it than I did with any of my cameras prior to this one.

5 Stars Great kit for a beginning hobbyist
It’s hard to beat the price to value ratio for this kit. I bought this for my sister-in-law as a college graduation present. She’s produced some stunning photos (as has my brother…he keeps borrowing it from her.) Before I bought this, I had taken her window shopping. She had held a number of cameras and this one was the only one small enough for her hands. She’s a little woman…not even five feet tall.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably trying to figure out if this is the camera for you or someone you know. Here’s a handy rubric for figuring that out.
Let’s talk about the person for whom this camera purchase is intended.
If the person doesn’t want to bother with carrying lenses, don’t get a DSLR.
If the person is not a beginner to photography and already has an SLR, then don’t get this camera. Get a DSLR BODY ONLY that takes the lenses they already have at a price point of about $800-$1000. For Nikon/Canon/Sony-Minolta/Pentax, get a D90/40D/A700/K20D.
If the person is a beginner to photography and does not have an SLR, then consider this camera. Across the board for Nikon/Canon/Sony-Minolta/Pentax, consider a D40-D60-D80/XTI-XSI/A350/K200D-K2000D. Have them hold the cameras in question if you can. Find the one that they like holding. Find the one that doesn’t weigh too much. If you can’t get them to hold the cameras, then…
If they have big hands, consider the Nikon D80, Canon Xsi, or the Pentax K10D or K200D. I’ll stop here since people with big hands won’t want the product being reviewed.
If they have small hands, consider the Nikon D40 and D60, the Sony A350, and the Pentax K2000D.
If they have tiny hands, consider only the Nikon D40 and the Pentax 2000D.
If they have access to Nikon or Pentax lenses, they should choose the camera to which they have available glass.
If they don’t have access to lenses, have small or tiny hands, are beginners to photography, then you can’t really go wrong with either the Nikon d40 or the Pentax K2000D.
The megapixel count, the pictures per second, the start up time, the available ISO, and about two dozen other metrics won’t mean squat until well after their capabilities have outgrown both these cameras – at least a year or two of concentrated study.
This camera feels good in your hands. It takes great pictures if used by someone who knows what they’re doing. The Nikon brand has some unbelievable lenses available – granted, some are at unreal prices. However, this camera will take those pictures at the ball game, on the soccer field, at the park, at the canyon, at the relative’s barbeque, and at most places and times people will want to capture the moment. Is it professional grade? No, but so what – if you were a pro, you wouldn’t be reading this review.
5 Stars Great Device!!
Worth the money
great device for first DSLR users
buy it and you will start develope your self and become a pro …
A+
5 Stars WOW!! WOW!! WOW!!
This is a great camera, it takes amazing pictures. Makes me feel like a professional. I did not know what to expect, been using point and shoot cameras for a while and got used to their quality. Now i realise that i was getting crap!. It night versus day. The first picture i took i realised the quality and the display is incredible.Wow! The flash does what it is supposed to, not like the ones on the point and shoot cameras. It really lights up the room and brings warmth to the photos.
I have large hands and it fits well and is super light.
The only problem i had was getting the strap in, but who cares!!.
The camera bag is spacious and is made of quality materials(waterproof). This is a great package. Thanks to Ken Rockwell & Cameta!!
(February 2009)Shooting in manual mode now, manipulating apperture and shutter speeds. It is amazing the type of photos one can get without using flash. The manual mode gives alot of flexibility and variation to photographs.
The battery lasts very long (over 1000 shots) even when using flash.
A good start for anyone moving up to DSLR’s, for professional jobs go with the D300 and above.

5 Stars Great camera and Kit with low price
This is my first SLR Camera, which works great for me. I love the price.
3 Stars good
not bad for the camera.
But it’s sounds crazzy to leave my camera in front of door.
