Via Engadget, images of a possible new budget-minded Nikon digital SLR were discovered a few days ago on a German merchandiser’s Web site, but they were quickly taken down. Is this for real?

While it could easily cannibalize sales of the solid and very pro-minded D50, it could make up for that in laying the foundation for a brand-new category: entry-level DSLR. We’ll see.

(But even with the lens, I’m not sure that’ll be low enough to really catch on with the masses.) Check out the in-depth preview of the D40 at dpreview. […]
