Title: Nikon D40X(05/03/09)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: ; Unlimited 3 fps continuous shooting in JPEG mode (with a reasonably fast card); In-camera retouching features including D-Lighting and Red-eye reduction; Support for SD and SDHC cards; All playback functions available in record review; Extremely useful, customizable automatic sensitivity (ISO); For a Pentamirror the viewfinder delivers Cons: ; No lens motor in body means non-AF-S/AF-I lenses are manual focus only; No depth-of-field preview; Disappointing automatic white balance performance in incandescent light; Occasional visibility of moire artifacts (although seldom); Fixed exposure steps (1/3 EV); No status LCD panel on top of camera (we hate to see these go); No exposure Country:

Title: Nikon D40x(07/11/07)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 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 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:
