Nikon D40x

The Nikon D40x is a high quality camera at an affordable price. The viewer is clear and is very straight forward to operate. Fantastic photos with very little effort.

A very nice all round DSLR. I have used this camera a lot over the past couple of years and it is a very nice camera to use. The body is lightweight and solidly built making it comfy to carry around all day. The controls are all well positioned and easy to use. The camera isn't too large so this adds to comfort and ease of use. Overall this is a great camera for street photography and for beginners. The quality of images is good up to 800 ISO, but becomes quite grainy at 1600 ISO. This is pretty much the only bad thing about this camera.

There is a huge range of accessories out there on the market so all sorts of set ups are possible. I would recommend this camera very highly to a beginner to photography, or to an amateur that wants a quality but affordable DSLR.

However, now that the D60 is out I would recommend that to any potential photographer, due to the better quality of the images.

Quality and colour is amazing. Well built and easy to use and hold. Perfect help with intuitive back display advising and pictorial view of shutters ans apperatures. Wonderful camera. Wonderful pictures. Worth every penny! Only bad point it there isn't a live view.

The Nikon D40x good budget camera but nothing particularly special. There are better items out there. However at the moment there are some excellent Nikon factory reconditioned cameras for sale. They are excellent value at significantly less cost than a new unit. If bought make sure they come with the Nikon recondition certificate and the 90 day warranty certificate.

I've owned my Nikon D40x for almost 6 months now and I find it is a good and cheap everything combined SLR.
