You only need to turn on the camera’s AUTO mode, look through the clear, bright viewfinder and shoot.

    The Nikon D40x is essentially a 10 megapixel version of the slightly older 6 megapixel D40, and thankfully the increase in resolution hasn't negatively affected the overall image quality. Indeed, I couldn't see any noticeable difference in terms of noise between ISO settings on the D40x and the same settings on the D40, which means that the D40x delivers a bigger image without the usual trade-offs of unwanted image artifacts. The D40x is an intuitive camera that clearly... Read more

    The Nikon D40x makes a very nice first dSLR, though experienced SLR shooters looking for a Nikon should spend the extra cash for the D80 Read more

    This review is from: Nikon D40X Digital SLR Camera With 18-55mm Lens - Black (10.2MP) (Electronics) This camera is made for people they look for a light camera to carry everywhere. I photographed also with a Nikon D3, but it is heavy. This D40x make great pictures, sharp,nice colors. The files can be used for professionel issue, because the D40x makes RAW files and you can shoot in Adobe RGB profile. With the most of compact cameras you get only amateur pics, not with...

  3. D40 Excellent Mid Level DSLR

    EXCELLENT choice for entry level photographers to mid level users. A good choice for more serious photographers on a budget as well. The lenses can be the deciding factor when starting on the DSLR path, and the major choices are Nikon or Canon. Both camps have their pros and cons, the pros for Nikon are generally lower entry points on the camera bodies, in the D40's case, this is a key point. I can't think of another camera body that has as many features for the money... Read more

    Got this for time abroad. Worked like a charm. Only down side... thought it had video and it does not. Otherwise, the photos were fantastic. Used to work in a portrait studio and have been able to get some good portraits also... great little entry level DSL camera for the non DSL user. Cheap, also for someone that is new to the market and doesn't wish to break the bank... perfect for a teen/student, would recommend. User friendly was a big factor compared to higher end...
