Great Camera to Purchase with a Prime LensStrengths: Amazing value and compares favorably to the main competitor in its class---Rebel XTi. D40x might feel small to those with larger hands, but Rebel XTi's construction feel cheap while D40x's does not. Weakness: It does not have its own auto-focus motor. Thus the set of lenses that can be used with the camera and auto-focus is limited compared to Canon's Rebel XTi and to the more advanced D80. This body-only D40x is obviously the same camera as the one that is included in the kit with either the 18-55mm zoom lens, the 18-135mm zoom lens or both. Thus, the same strengths and weaknesses that apply to the camera, as reviewed elsewhere, apply to this model as well. The key remaining question is why one should purchase a body-only camera as opposed to a camera kit, especially when one can purchase the cheapest kit for less than $100 more than the body-only camera. 100% of readers found this review helpful.

Great Camera!Strengths: Its light weight and easy to use! Most importantly its tough! The built of it feels more sturdy than most other competitive cameras Weakness: There are not a lot of weaknesses, except for the fact that you need a Lens with a AF motor, the camera itself does not have one. This camera is great, light weight and easy to use! Most importantly its tough! The built of it feels more sturdy than most other competitive cameras, I love the editing features it has, as well as the easy to use in-camera menu. 100% of readers found this review helpful.

Nikon D40x (body only)
THE GOOD: Comfortable, compact body design; very low noise at higher ISOs; highly customizable menus; 10.2-megapixel CCD sensor THE BAD: Slow kit lenses; RAW editing software costs extra; controls can be awkward; occasionally slow to focus; no automatic sensor cleaning; RAW-plus-JPEG mode limited to basic instead of fine JPEG compression THE BOTTOM LINE: The Nikon D40x makes a very nice first...

Nikon D40x Review
Announced just four months after its predecessor, the Nikon D40x DSLR camera is virtually identical to the D40, except for one important factor - it has a 10.2 megapixel senor taken directly from the D80, rather than the 6 megapixels that the D40 offered. The sensor change means that the ISO range now starts at ISO 100, going all the way up to ISO 3200. The D40x also borrows the shutter mechanism... Top

Nikon D40x
Nikon's further reinforced their digital SLR battle strategy with the 10 megapixel Nikon D40x, a fine digital SLR that's family friendly. We actually thought the jump from 6 to 10 megapixels might introduce a flaw or two, but we found that the image quality was maintained or got even better in several key areas, including noise control at high ISO and overall dynamic range. As a result, indoor... Top

DCRP Review: Nikon D40x
If you're ready to enter the world of digital SLRs, the Nikon D40x is a great way to do it. It offers a compact, portable body, great performance and photo quality, and a really user friendly interface. I wouldn't write off the original D40 either -- it offers the same features, just with fewer pixels and slightly weaker performance, for around $200 less. I would take a close look at the... Top

Camera Labs – Nikon D40x review
Ultimately if you’re a beginner who loved the D40 but wished it had higher resolution, then go for the D40x. If however you want a technically more sophisticated DSLR for roughly the same money, then the Canon 400D / XTi and Sony A100 have more going for them, although if you can stretch a little further, Nikon’s own D80 offers even more still. Indeed the D40x does a great job of up-selling... Top

Camera Test: Nikon D40x
The D40x has much of the same pre- and postproduction image adjustments as the D80, such as the Optimize Image menu of color/sharpness/contrast profiles, redeye fix, and D-Lighting to turn down excessive contrast. Drawbacks? The D40x has the lens limitation of the D40 -- only AF-S lenses (the type with built-in AF motors) will autofocus on the camera. For a first-time SLR buyer this is a... Top

Nikon D40x
Strengths: Takes Great Pictures in Auto Mode. I have large hands and it fits my hands well. Has lamp for autofocus instead of using flash.
Weakness: Requires use of AF lenses with focus motor IN THE LENS.
This is a great camera. We have a 3 year old and found that with our two Nikon point and shoot digital cameras, we missed many of the great shots. This was due to shutter lag and focusing issues. Since we got this camera, we have not had this problem at all. You turn it on and it is ready to take great pictures with no waiting. We also like the auto shutter that allows us to take many pics in a row. If you have young kids, you know exactly what I'm talking about here.
The weakness listed above is only because it limits the lenses. The two Nikon AF lenses we purchased work very well. Some even feel that the focus motor being in the lens is a plus. If the motor is in the body and it dies, then you can't take pictures with autofocus at all. If it happens with one of these lenses, just put on another lens.
