The Nikon D40 is one of the best DSLR camera's ever made, and the D40x just a tad better!
It has by now stood the test of time!

Learning should be fun the D40X make it so!
Getting your head round the basics is vital, but overloading your brain with unnecessary technology can hinder a students progress. Using an older school DSLR can help streamline the learning process. 10mp is more that enough and along with some good glass can render top quality photos. Save your money for now and go in without the pressure. Enjoyment first and the photos will follow.... keep it simple! ; )Read full review...

A nice product bought at a reasonable price. Most satisfied.
Although I already own two heavy nikon d slr cameras, I wanted one to be comfortable to carry and lightweight for holidays and trips out and the D40x fulfils that need. The camera purchased was in excellent condition and overall I was pleased with my purchase.Read full review...

Nikon D40x: a bit long in the tooth, but still good
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...
Nikon d40x Digital slr.
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.Read full review...
Get this camera
The race for megapixels is over - most people don't use the full capacity of their cameras at the moment - and this beauty gives you all you'll need unless you're wanting to print posters. Compact, user friendly, and yet with all the options you could want in the menus, my only gripe would be the inability to autofocus older (non-AFS) lenses. Given my addiction to ebay and a good secondhand bargain it's a pain to me to have to buy such expensive glass.Read full review...
