Softer images than the D40 due to increased pixel count. Slower sync speed the the D40.
Value For Money
Compared to the D40, Nikon’s D40x isn’t bad value, with an additional £150 getting you a slightly more robust shutter and an extra 4 million pixels. It also offers good value alongside the D80 as you get the same pixel count and a generally similar spec – at least in terms of photographic controls – with money to spare. However, Samsung’s GX10 isn’t that much more expensive.
