Non D40 good DSLR for its age! Especially for the current pricing. Image quality is very good with nice natural colors. Lightweight and easy to use controls. Has auto focus points and sometimes will focus on nearest object which may not be in the middle of the scene. But glad I bought it and would do so again.

My D40x is in my car at all times. I use it to “protect” my newer and much more expensive Nikon DSLR cameras. It uses all Nikon F mount lenses, except for the newest AF-P versions. It is small, light, simple to use with excellent image quality. I bought a camera armor case for $5 on eBay.

It is simply an excellent camera that consistently provides very good clear images. Even the auto selection is very reliable and I am new with this kind of Camera so I am slowly learning some of the sophisticated aspects that this camera provides. I am a believer and I am completely enjoying using the camera on and learning more about each day.

I purchased this as a replacement for a Canon EOS Rebel XT. I use the Nikon D40X primarily for Ebay pictures and for other documentation type photos. The reason for my switch from Canon to Nikon is complicated, but goes something like this. After picking up a Nikon F4 35mm camera for almost $0.00 and playing with it, I began to believe that Nikon's glass was better than much of the Canon glass. It also had something to do with my son who is a, professional photographer, giving my Canon XT dirty looks every chance he got. I also had not been totally pleased with the fine detail I saw out of the Canon. It seemed like portrait photos showed a harsher skin than was seen in real life. At any rate, I made the switch. I am very pleased with the Nikon D40X. I like the color that I get directly from the camera. I am very happy with the above mentioned fine detail that I see in the jpgs. It seems that there is an on going battle on the www concerning CCD vs. CMOS technology and since the Canon was CMOS and the Nikon is CCD I landed squarely in the middle of that battle. I have to say I like the Nikon's photos better than the Canon's. Whether this is the sensor technology or a function of the software in the two cameras I can't say. But the Nikon D40X works better all around for me. Please note that if I'm photographing anything important that I have the time to wait on I do that in either 35mm or 120 film and digitize the negatives, with the prices of 35mm equipment these days that's a no-brainer! If I had it to do over again I would have the Nikon D40X over the Canon EOS Rebel XT. If the shutter crashes on the Nikon I will probably replace it myself ($22.95 on Ebay.)Read full review
