Nikon D40 and D40x Review By Bythom

Ostensibly, this camera replaced the D50 in the Nikon lineup and became the new entry camera for the Nikon DSLR lineup. The question on everyone’s mind was whether or not a 6mp camera has any place in the new 10mp and higher world we seemed to have joined.

D40X Main Features

* The most compact and lightweight Nikon digital SLR ever, with intuitive controls and a comfortable grip.
* 10.2 megapixel DX format image sensor for exceptionally vivid and detailed high-resolution images that are ideal for enlargements.
* High-performance image processing engine: for natural-looking pictures with true-to-life colors and tones.
* Near-instant 0.18s start-up time. Ready in 0.18 seconds after turning on the camera, the D40X empowers you with the speed to act on the spur of the moment.

Nikon D40 and D40x was Reviewed By Bythom and said”the D40x does a bit better than the D80 in the noise department, apparently due to slightly more aggressive noise reduction, as the level of detail is slightly lower at ISO 1600 on the D40x than it is on the D80. But again, ISO 100 to 1600 produced very usable images. … The D40x retains all the things that are likeable about the D40 and gives you a 10mp sensor that produces images that are arguably slightly better than the D80 can produce (at least for JPEG files). You pay for that extra resolution two ways: extra dollars up front and reduced flash flexibility due to the all-mechanical shutter. I don’t expect to use my D80 much any more with the D40x being smaller and lighter. But someone with older AF lenses or who needs one of the D80’s additional features might choose differently
