Nikon D40x review
Verdict
The newcomer may have 4 million pixels more, but this isn’t enough to make it a ‘better’ camera; what it gains in resolution it loses in picture quality, which only serves to balance the tally sheet. It ultimately seems that the D40x is trying to be ‘forced’ into a gap in the market that doesn’t currently exist. While it is by no means a bad camera I’d still say that if you want a straightforward entry-level DSLR save yourself a few quid and get a D40. On the other hand, if you want a 10MP sensor, save up a bit more money beforehand and go for the D80 – the overall improvements justify the additional cost.
Have your say!

Respected Sir, i chanced upon ur site searchg for nikon d5000 review... WITH DUE RESPECT...i beg to differ with ur review of nikon d40x...HOW all and most experts ignore the resolution of d40x which is matched only by nikon d300 and higher.THE photos are much contrast and colour range is great.NIKON D40 CANNOT MATCH D40X. price is one consideration BUT we just can't ignore the photo quality to price. NIKON D40X IS UNMATCHED BY PHOTO QUALITY FOR NEXT FIVE YEARS..... I AM CONSTRAINT TO SAY YOUR REVIEWER EITHER HAVE NO EYE FOR COLOUR AND RESOLUTION OR WRITING WITHOUT SEEING THE PHOTOS.
