Abstract: This 10.2 megapixel camera is the same camera as the Nikon D40 except for the sensor. For the extra $500 the buyer gets four extra megapixels. Apart from that, all that we said about the D40 applies to this camera. This is lighter...
The D40X comes with the same kit lens as the D40 and it is pretty good. It a plastic rather than a metal mount, which suggests penny pinching and quality compromises. However Nikon have chosen to make it with a modest zoom range -- a mere 27 to 82mm in...
The D40X, like the D40, does not to have a camera status LCD on the body top. Camera status is now displayed ephemerally on the LCD review screen and some settings appear in the viewfinder. This no doubt keeps the price of the camera down but it is a r...
So the question for a would-be buyer is: Are those extra pixels worth the $400? 6 million pixels will produce A3 prints. 10 million give some room for cropping without loss of resolution. By comparison with the competition at this price the D40X offers...
Abstract: Nikon Australia has just announced the D40X, big brother to its entry-level offering, the D40. It might be more of an incremental upgrade than a ground-breaking offering, but if the 10-megapixel digital SLR is anything like its little sister, its buil...

Abstract: Closely rivals the EOS 400D at a lower price. The D40x directly rivals Canons EOS 400D, and has many things in its favour. The 3fps continuous mode lasts for 100 rather than the 400Ds 30 shots, and a focus assist lamp aids sharp focus in low ligh...
