Please can you give me your thoughts on a website that I have just created, it is currently just using a simple template, but I hope to replace it, although I am really bad a designing!

http://d40.info

Any tips on content, design?

Thanks,
Lee

Content: Pictures, video walkthroughs, abilities of the camera,...
design: if your thinking about appealing to photographers or those in the market to buy a camera, you'll need a template that's by far more tailored towards photography. You need the opportunity to display pictures taken by the camera you're talking about. Create credibility and desire to own this camera.
include photo rating software where people can upload their images and users rate it; coppermine would be one of them. integrate this into your blog.

..that should keep you busy for a little while.

Give me more! The simple design is great! However, take your text and break them into paragraphs. In addition, place pictures within the content to break the page up as well.

Add more colors. There are 3 primary colors on your site blue, black, and white. Add more colors to make it more interesting.

Find a new way to format the tables. The current table structure does not wrap well. And, if you do have more information to add to a cell it will cause it to cause the page to have greater length.

Have the function/feature..........and then have the information.

Just a simple suggestion, but I've found sites focused on photography usually include a slideshow-esque [?] element. IntelBank's suggestions were generous. I would definately add more. If you're thinking of keeping something similar to what you have, do more with the header.
