Excellent engry level SLR DC for the price

Strengths: Relatively low price with lots of features

Weakness: with no silver color option

This is the first SLR digital camera I bought. I'm very satisfied with the purchase. The camera is solidly built and gives a professional look. The picture quality is way better than my $100 Nikon CoolPix L11. I think Nikon D40x is a better choice than Canon Rebel XTi. Plus, the price of Nikon lens is lower than Canon's as well.

D-40x - an Entry level SLR

Strengths: Good LCD, Long battery life, cheaper price

Weakness: No bracket shooting, No built-in autofocus system, difficulty in getting good, sharp focus with certain tele lenses in low-light conditions, No hard buttons for ISO

It is a very good option for an entry-level DSLR one can get for the price you pay. It is a DSLR - don't compare it with a point and shoot/compact cam. At the same time, it is not a very good option for medium/high end professionals in many terms such as build quality, features etc. I upgraded to D-40x three years ago from Sony DSC-H1. I have been using it even with a 150-500mm Sigma telephoto lens and have been satisified with the quality so far except that since it depends on the autofocus system of the lens it doesn't perform very well in low-light conditions. But, I know I need an upgrade now and it will be most likely D-300.

Nikon D40x (Nikon AF-S DX 18-55mm and Nikon AF-S DX 55-200mm Lenses)

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
