I wanted to try out an older model of Nikon camera because I did not want to spend hundreds of pounds. The D40x is an excellent camera, takes superb pictures and has plenty of control options. It may be "only" 10 Mpx but as I have proved time and again, more megapixels does not necessarily equate to better picture quality. It does not shoot video but that does not matter to me. It only goes up to ISO 1600 + a HI setting but I am not too bothered about low light photography. I find the auto focus can be a little bit slow but I also found that on a much later and much more expensive Nikon D5200. I am more than satisfied with this camera especially as I only paid £80.

It is a very compact device, easy to handle for beginners, granting absolut perfect fotos in high-definition quality. Absolutely state of the art at a good price. I use this camera as backup for my first Nikon
was in a tight position time wise with a party coming up that I was booked to attend and tak pictures, the product arrived really quickly and was well packed. The marks on the product were minor as the unit worked great straight out of the box, a real saver!!
Although already surpassed by the D60 and D3000, Nikon's D40x is still more than a decent performer. After giving up my D60 and buying a D300 I did feel well-armed. Still, hauling the D300 with its battery pack and a few lenses required me to plan ahead. I enjoy the camera when I want to go shooting, but it is a bit too much to have with you everyday. Enter the D40x. The D40x body is light and compact enough to carry without any problems, the 10 or so megapixels are more than enough, and the response times are very short -- the D40x attacks the subject with delightful speed. Equipped with, for example, Nikon's affordable 35mm f/1.8 DX lens, the combo is a near perfect mix of fast action and good image quality; there really is no real need to carry anything else (unless, of course, one wants to capture something specific). So, if you already own Nikon lenses (remember the D40x body lacks a lens motor, so unless you want to manually focus, use lenses with auto focus capability) and want a second body or if you are looking for a good entry-level digital SLR, Nikon D40x is a good option. The fact that it is a few years old does not mean it is worthless. PS. Almost everything said in this review applies to Nikon's older D40 and newer D60 as well! Pros: 1. Light 2. Responsive 3. Can produce superb pictures Cons: 1. No lens motor means to auto focus one needs to use lenses with internal focus motors 2. Lacks features found in newer cameras: sensor cleaning, picture retouch options 3. Discontinued, so getting oldRead full review
Small and neat, the nikon d40x packs the same sensor as my Nikon D200,While the D200 is my main workhorse, i needed a back up camera with the same picture quality yet lighter,easier to travel with or take on long hikes! the D200 just weighs too much, especially if other lenses are being taken along. Lacks the build quality of the semi pro models, but the D40x was designed as a entry level slr,the menu is very well thought out,the layout of the various controls are a bit weird,not as logical as the D200/D300 etc. All things considered a great compact slr that can handle most situations with ease in the hands of an experienced photographer, the easy to follow "info" on rear screen helps novices to the art of photography and how to get the best from this great value slr.
