Nikon D40x Digital Camera

I used to use Nikon 35mm professionally, so Nikon was the obvious choice, but I had been put off by a little Coolpix I bought for my wife, which was a disaster. I needn't have worried. The D40X is superb. Being just an amateur again, I just wanted point-and-shoot most of the time, but the D40X gives me the freedom to take full control when I want to, and to use the superb Nikkor lenses from my film kit. The 18-70 lens I got with the D40X is pretty good, though.

The 2 real pluses are the excellent 10megapixel performance, and the instant start-up. The instruction book is excellent (English only, so you don't have to thumb through Albanian and Zulu to get to the bit you need). Memory and spare batteries are reasonable, so I can cover a long trip without the fear of running out.

It's light and reasonably compact (won't go in your pocket, but slips under a coat when security is a risk, or I want to do candids). Results so far have been very good, with excellent detail even when printing A4 from a quarter frame! Colour rendition is beautiful.

The D40X is an easy camera to use. Start off on the fully auto mode, and try out the other settings as you get used to it, and anyone can soon use it to its full potential.

Too early to assess durability and reliability yet. The only complaint is the strap. It slips through the lugs, so I had to resort to tying knots in it - so far so good.

This is a great product,exactly what I wanted and comunication with seller was excellent, They were very helpfull with everything. I have nothig wrong to say about it.

i had more cameras but this is the best i found up till now as it is afforadable and light. it is also smaller than other slr and i recommend it to other buyers especially who wants to start photography. well done!

This camera is really cool and I can do lots of great stuff before I even load pictures onto the computer. It is a camera that is professional and affordable and I think it is the best in its price range. I would recommend it to anyone who either wants to get into photograhy or just wants to make some good quality pictures.

exelent, look ok , lite for the size of it , picture quality is more than good even for profesionals ,and you dont have to be profesional to used it , overall is one hell of a camera.
exelent value for the money

The camera is a good size for my wife to use. The battery lasts a very long time compared to other cameras we have had. Te lenses are of very good quality and produce some very good shots. The menu on the camera is simple and easy to use. We would certainly rec to any budding photographers.

However at max resolution the format becomes RAW instead of JPEG. Unfortunately the software which came with the camera unknown to me at the point of purchase is in Japanese only however the old software I had which came with my old Fuji work fine with Jpgs and I can download and amend as necessary.

All in all a good camera just watch out for the PC software.

I just love it ;) Beautiful photos, easy to use. Exactly what I need.

Highly recommended for amateurs and professionals.

I already had a compact digital camera and wished to advance to an SLR. The camera seems well made and takes good photographs. My only problem is there is no written manual, it comes on a CD. This causes a problem if you are out and wish to refer to the manual. I do not think you should have to print out 139 pages to get a copy.

I wanted a well known brand entry level DSLR and decided on this one. Boy am I glad I did. The camera itself is a joy to use and soon got used to its functions (which are very numerous). Having owned a film SLR I can thoroughly recommend this piece of kit to anyone considering digital photography with all the advantages of SLR.
On the minus side - there isn't one!

Una macchina fotografica eccezionale per chi si vuole avvicinare al mondo delle reflex digitali. Il prezzo e le caratteristiche sono il suo punto di forza. Le ottiche Nikkor la rendono davvero ottima per ogni tipo di utilizzo. Io mi trovo benissimo, la consiglio!

I'm really impressed with my new christmas present it's my 1st DSLR camera and I'm finding it really easy to use and have some great photo's of my recent trip to L.A the only problem I'm having is retrieving my photo's to my laptop it doesn't seem to want to pair with windows vista so need to ring Nikon and get some advice.

Having been a non digital CANON SLR (several models) user as a hobbyist and for various work, including aerial related projects, over many years the time came for a trial at this new digital technology. Two FUJI compact digitals (An A310 and Z1)later I was convinced that it was time to look for something more SLRish in the digital stables.
After much nail biting and research of reviews, the D40X seemed to have more to offer in most respects, not least in the price via an eBay trader. Having dealt with the trader before I was confident that the deal would be transacted thoroughly, which it was.
I have now had the D40X for a few weeks and although still in the familiarisation stage can only express total satisfaction so far.
In auto mode it performs very well in most conditions, a little tweak of the ISO rate in low light helped.
The standard lens at 18-55mm is versatile in range and the optics are producing excellent results in capturing clarity, sharpness, and colour.
I still have several menu options to put to the test but at this stage can not forsee any problems.
The programme controls are clear and easily accessible.
Pity there is no cable release socket on the shutter button, however, there are alternative ways around this.
Can't say I've had the problem with the strap working loose?
All in all, I am delighted with the D40X.
Sorry CANON/FUJI!

i needed a professional camera with good picture quality but on a budget of 500 pound. What a camera it is brilliant and the pictures are superb quality. It takes a little time to get used to the different settings but after that it is easy. excellent reccomend this camera to everyone and the 200mm VR lense i also purchased is a must

I knew once I had this camera in my hands that it would prove to be good and I have not been disappointed. I specialise in landscape photography but have found that this camera with the 135mm lens is just as good when it comes to display stills for listing etc.
It is worth the price most shops are selling it for at present and will no doubt come down in price as new cameras come on stream. It you want reliablity and an enjoyable camera to work with then look no further than this Nikon D40X.
Best regards
Iain

Camera was for our daughter and sh is delighted with it. It was good value for money; delivered when you said it would and has all the guarantees that we would expect of a leading brand.

I had been watching prices and special offers through various retailers for the Nikon D40 and the D40X Cameras. Prices varied considerably. Checked out on Ebay and found both specifications available, new and used. Prices for new were more competative than retail outlets and offered more opportunities to purchase the product at a price I could influence. Great Deal.

I wanted the camera for personal use. Photography is a hobby of mine.
Unfortunately there were some issues so I had to return the item and claim my money.
Everything went almost smooth and in the end everybody was satisfied.

Being a beginner I was able to use it right away.Good instructions (although the photocopied booklet was very hard to read) Takes excellent pictures.

I never thought I would be able to afford a top of the line digital SLR...but I am now the extremely pleased owner of a Nikon D40X.

With as sophisticated a piece of equipment as this I am sure I will still be learning in a years time...but as regards the basic automatic controls and use of the zoom lens provided..I am delighted already. I expected high quality results but the reality of the large viewing area and the excellent wide angle facility of the lens were a revelation.

Still to use close up possibilities..but not too worried about this as the definition is so good I will be able to zoom in using PC later on...

The price was so low compared to high street shops..I almost feel sorry for them!

I bought the NIXON D40X due to advice from my colleague , I was actually after the d40 but I noticed the D40X at a very good price so i decided to purchase it for my xmas. I've not used it yet but I have had a look at it and it does look very nice indeed and the service was also very good.

I have had several Nikons in my lifetime, and they never loose the quality
from model to model, before i bought the D40X i upgraded from the Coolpix
8800(which is also a fantastic camera) the D40X is so easy to use, with its
bright clear screen, its large lettering display is a godsend if, like me, your
eyesight aint so good!
This camera can photograph anything, no problem, just set the "Mode" dial on
top of the camera to anything from.. fast action sports, night shots, portrait, close up, or even Child Mode!
In use the D40X is very fast in Auto Focus, this i really like,when shooting
action, & using "Continuous" shutter!
You really cant go wrong with this camera, its got like a built-in manual, if
theres something you dont understand in a mode setting, just press the "?"
button and its all explained!
If your upgrading to a Digital SLR this is the one for you, good quality
pictures, a good range of lenes, and ease of use... i could say.. foolproof!
The price is right to, you could save about £100 on a Grey import, but beware
you wont have a warranty! and the CD "Picture Project" will be in Japanese!

Compared Olympus, Canon, Nikon and others using magazines and on-line comparison sites and then went to different retailers to 'get a feel' of the cameras with different lenses. Even though a regular Canon EOS user, decided to go for the Nikon. It feels more comfortable, better balanced and even though there are loads of buttons, the on-screen menu is very clear - even a novice SLR user would be able to get started easily.
I used the camera with 55-200 lens at a Golden Wedding Anniversary party and the 10.2megapixels resulted in superb quality pictures.
A relative borrowed it and is so impressed he's buying one himself.
