Title: Nikon D40X(3/5/09)Summary: No one was more surprised that me when Nikon passed through the press releases for the D40X. Just under four months since the arrival of the six megapixel D40 and Nikon were about to reveal a ten megapixel version of the same (save for a base ISO 100 sensitivity and 3.0 fps shooting speed) camera.That it only took four months for the D40... Read the full review Pros: ; Reliable, sophisticated, if sometimes a little conservative matrix metering system; All playback functions available in record review; Kit lens is better quality than many others; Value for money; Dedicated help button provides both shooting and in-menu assistance; Very attractive and intuitive menu system; Extremely useful, Cons: ; Disappointing automatic white balance performance in incandescent light; Limited image parameter adjustment (especially for color saturation); No lens motor in body means non-AF-S/AF-I lenses are manual focus only; No depth-of-field preview; Occasional visibility of moire artifacts (although seldom); Fixed exposure steps (1/3 EV); No Country:

Title: Nikon D40x(11/7/07)Summary: 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... Read the full review Country:

Title: Nikon D40x Review(7/11/07)Summary: Boasting a maximum resolution of 10.2 million pixels and a longer rechargeable battery life, the Nikon D40x is a keenly priced mid-range digital camera.

Title: Nikon D40x (body only)(5/7/07)Summary: Read the full review Verdict: 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. Pros: ; Comfortable, compact body design; very low noise at higher ISOs; highly customizable menus; 10.2-megapixel CCD sensor Cons: ; 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 Country:

Title: Nikon D40xSummary: Read the full review Verdict: While the D40x lacks some of the more sophisticated options of bigger cameras, it's certainly well specified in the budget market and readily capable of taking on the Canon EOS 400D. The body is light and compact, but this means that all the functions that would otherwise be on dials etc, are hidden away on menus. The lack of a Pros: ; ¤ 10Mp resolution¤ Help system¤ Small and compact¤ Good quality images¤ Well saturated colours¤ Good built-in flash Cons: ; ¤ Shooting speed isn't great¤ Pictures not super-sharp¤ Some noise at ISO100¤ Help system is buried¤ Only sRGB Country:

Title: Nikon D40x ReviewSummary: We can be brief; the Nikon D40x is a very fine and smart DSLR camera that offers a lot of quality for a low price. The D40 camera was welcomed enthusiastically and quickly left its competition behind. The different camera reviews almost always showed a positive conclusion, also with our DIWA colleagues, who awarded the D40 with a DIWA... Read the full review Country:

Title: Nikon D40xSummary: The D40x produces superb colour images, but why is it so expensive compared to the D40? The convoluted controls may be tolerable in the D40, but they're harder to stomach here. The £600 price pitches it against some cameras that either undercut it out-spec it.

Title: Nikon D40x DSLRSummary: If you¿re just looking for a weekend or vacation camera for snapshots, the D40 is probably all you need.

Cons: ; No depth of field preview or exposure bracketing; lacks dust-control system found in competitors. Country:
