better than olympus evolt 500
Style: D40X w/ 18-55mm Lens
Originally, I had purchased the Olympus e volt 500 because I had read the reviews and most seemed very favorable. I'm very new to photography and I didn't exactly know what I was buying exactly, I thought Olympus camera seemed simple enough for me to use and was a great price. After shopping for a camera for over 4 months, I ordered the evolt500. What a mistake! The camera took less than stellar photographs and was larger and looked like an older model camera with little to no modern edges. They were good but not WOW. After a few days of use, the Olympus began malfunctioning by shutting down randomly and the lcd screen would static. I shipped that back and amazon was wonderful enough to reimburse me for my shipping when the vendor didn't. Side Note: and another thing. I feel better when I purchase from Amazon as opposed to the other vendors. I may pay more (like I did for my Nikon d40x) but I think it's money well spent when I know that is something goes wrong past the first 15 days, my expensive investment is protected by someone other than the warranty. On a whim, I ordered the Nikon d40x. I had read the reviews and even walked over to best buy to test it out the camera. I still wasn't sure about the camera or what to expect. As soon as my camera arrived today (thanks, Amazon!) I opened the box and starting shooting. The pictures are amazing! Clear, crystal, sharp, and beautiful. The Olympus Evot500 (broken or not) does not hold a handle to the quality of shots the Nikon has to offer. Bottom line in any camera is the lens. The Nikkor has a higher quality lens, therefore the camera itself is an excellent choice. Nikon d40/ d40x VS. Canon RebelTi: I thought the canon would be easier to use because I have a powershot camera which makes me familiar with the format. The good news is that Nikon is also simple to use, if not a better format than canon. I couldn't be happier. The price is a bit more than what I wanted to pay for a dslr but I am very excited to start shooting, a feeling I never had while I owned the Olympus even before I discovered the defects in the merchandise. The camera itself did not inspire me to go out and capture photographs. The Nikon is fun, light, and sexy. Yes, I said sexy. As a beginner, I am thrilled about my purchase. I can't explain it... I feel like I have my creative juices boiling and I cannot wait to get started. If anyone is a beginner and is looking for the next step-up with as much quality, price and ease- you cant go wrong with a Nikon or its family of lenses. Happy Shooting! ... show more

Easy to Use, Bargain Price, GREAT pictures
Style: D40X w/ 18-55mm Lens
First let me say, this is not a 'professional' camera. This is a prosumer camera, or a camera a professional might use as a backup. At 10.2 MP, the image quality is very good and you can blow pictures up and crop them, and still end up with a good image. I researched DSLRs for 2 weeks, reading about them and playing with them at Circuit City. I chose the Nikon D40x for the following reasons... 1) Heavier construction, more durable than the Canon Digital Rebel XTi 1a) Also feels better in my hand, which was a personal perference. 2) .1 MP higher than the Canon 3) 4.1 MP higher than the Nikon D40 4) $350 less than the D80 (I would have preferred the D80, but I wasn't trying to spend $1500+ after getting more lenses and accessories). 5) $632 for the D40x with the 18-55mm kit lens, which is much better than Canon's 28-55mm kit lens (which has horrible reviews). 6) Nikkor Lenses-- cannot say enough about how important it is to have a good lens. Nikon seems to have the best lenses on the market. 7) Takes an SD card-- the Canon takes a CF card. SD cards are cheaper for the same GBs 8) Nikon has a better warranty situation and I heard they are very customer oriented. 9) Nikon name is legendary in photography, and has the best and most easily available equipment. 10) For $975 (several purchases on Amazon), I got the following: D40x with 18-55mm lens, 55-200mm VR (vibration reduction lens), Nikon ballistic bag, extra battery (2 total), Nikon guide to photography, 2GB Sandisk Extreme III SD card, Sandisk USB card reader, (2) different Nikon Lens protective padded pouches, Nikon Microfiber lens/screen rag, Nikon Pen style brush lens cleaner, Digital Recovery Software, and Digital Photo Editing Software. Also included was a free trial of Photoshop. All in all, this is a perfect camera for someone who is interested in DSLR photography but doesn't know squat about Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed, F-stops, Manual Focusing, Bokeh, etc. This camera makes it easy to get introduced to DSLR photography without feeling overwhelmed. It additionally is great for someone who is on a budget-- such as a college or high school student who wants to pursue photography as a career. The quality of pictures is absolutely amazing for a $632 camera (and that includes a GOOD lens). ... show more

Works great when it works!!
Style: D40X w/ 18-55mm Lens
The camera would actually get five stars if it would stop breaking. Two years ago, we paid $250 to get the SD card to stay in. We were told that this is a common problem with these cameras. It takes great pictures when it works, but it's too expensive to keep repairing---especially the same problem! It is now doing the same thing again. I now have an expensive extra zoom lens that I can no longer use, as well as several other accessories. My last camera--an Avitar---worked for 23 wonderful years before that casing started to deteriorate, and I decided to get a new one. This Nikon is about 11 years old and I'm not fixing it again. Time for a new camera---not a Nikon!!! ... show more

2 Years Old and I Still Love My D40x
Style: D40X w/ 18-55mm Lens
I have had my Nikon D40x for two years now and love it just as much as I did the day I bought it. In the ensuing two years I've learned a few things about this camera and photography which I will share. -I did a lot of research before deciding on this camera. Most of all I am so glad that I chose a DSLR--especially this DSLR over a Point and Shoot digital. The additional weight/size is well worth the quality you get. -Of all the photo settings, I would say that 80% of my photos are taken in full auto mode. The other modes that I use regularly but less often are the aperature priority, and macro modes. Unless you're taking photos of subjects that don't move, then I recommend the auto mode because the photo will be "gone" if you're busy fiddling with the controls. -I take a lot of photos of my young nieces, and having no shutter lag lets me have "What you see is what you get" photos. -This camera will improve your photography, but the bottom line is that unless you have a good eye, no camera is going to give you great shots. -After owning my D40x for a year I invested in the Nikon sb400 flash. The increased power/range and the ability to bounce the flash improved flash photos with the D40x by 100% over the quality of the photos with just the built-in flash. Flash photos look so even and natural, and there's never red-eye. -I use the 18-55 mm lens far more than the 55-200 mm lens. -The only thing I don't like all of the time is the function of the autofocus. Sometimes it "misses," and I think that this is because there are only 3 focal points. -I take all of my photos in "fine" mode. This gives me the freedom of enlarging and or cropping later, without sacrificing quality. I use a 2 gb SDHC card, and have never "run out" of space in a day's shooting. I have not traveled much with this camera, but if I did and was "on the road," I would use a card with larger capacity. -10.2 MP is more than enough--the lens optics are far more important, and Nikon makes fantastic lenses. -Occasionally shooting at ISO 1600 isn't high enough, and I wish this camera had an ISO of 3200. Mostly, it's not an issue except in low light situations with no flash. I hope this retrospective review is helpful to your purchasing decision. ... show more

Lot of bang for the buck
Style: D40X w/ 18-55mm Lens
The D40 is Nikon's entry level DSLR. The D40X is an improved version with a 10 Megapixel sensor instead of the 6 MP that the D40 has. I haven't used my D40X much yet, but like what I've seen. Picture quality is great, as good as any 10 MP camera and better than most, thanks to Nikon optics. I can take 3 frames/second, which is a big help for rapid action. Most controls are easy to get to, but knowing which button does what involves a fairly steep learning curve. On the down side: One display, on the back. This means that menus can be crowded and it can take a while to find the setting you're trying to change. While bracketing is easy, it cannot be automated like the more expensive cameras can. It only uses AS lenses. This may be a temporary problem, but I think is's a minor one. I have the 18-55mm and will soon add the 55-200mm. If I want a longer lens, I have to use manual focus until longer AS lenses are produced. In my case, If I need longer than 200mm (equivalent to 300mm in 35 film cameras), I'm shooting long distances anyway, so I'll focus on the hyperfocal distance and have everything from 20-30 ft to infinity in focus (depending on focal length and f/stop). If I could afford twice the price, I'd probably spend it. As it is, this is one of best values on the market today. ... show more

Great Compact SLR
Style: D40X w/ 18-55mm Lens
Having made the jump to a DSLR last year, I've found the D40x to be able to do anything I want, given a little bit of menu fiddling. Yes, this means that you have to bracket your shots yourself, but if you're bracketing, you'll probably want a tripod anyway. For those of you who complain about the lack of AF lenses for the D40x, have you tried MF? Because in full manual mode, which is why most of us buy SLR's it actually has the highest compatibility with any Nikon F-mount lens, even 40 year old lenses. Another plus is that manual focus lenses are cheaper to buy, and don't drain battery power from the camera body, so you can keep shooting. Either way, more and more lenses are coming out that have a built-in autofocus motor to AF on the D40x. I myself mainly use the 135mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.8 lenses For the price, it's a great camera. It can do anything the D80 can, except for wireless off camera flash. It's also smaller and lighter, making it easier to carry around comfortably. As for the "new" D60, all it has are some dust reduction features, and a jacked up price tag. Unless you live in a windy/dusty area, or change your lens multiple times every time you use it, it's not really an issue. I've used my D40x for sports shots, pictures of animals/pets, family, night pictures, parties and more. I'm pleased with the picture quality and it feels great in the hand. Sure if I had $2000, I'd probably buy something better (more frame per second, or more autofocus points and dedicated buttons), but for $600, you can get this good camera and a couple of good lenses and a flash unit for less than $1000. Here are some pictures I've taken with this camera at the Rose Parade, the Los Angeles Coliseum (yes I am a USC student) and more, so you can look at them and decide if you need a camera that does more.

Best digital camera, replaced my film Nikon SLR!
Style: D40X w/ 18-55mm Lens
I have finally found a camera to replace my Nikon AF 35mm film camera. Over the last 10 years I have owned many digital cameras, mostly point a shoots, and this camera blows them all away. Other than the dynamic range of film (latitude, or contrast range), it may actually take better pictures than my SLR film camera. At 100iso I could see no digital noise, and details are razor sharp, so maybe no noise reduction/line enhancement is being used either. I just shot 100 pictures, and the battery isn't even showing any discharge. The camera is lighting fast! No waiting for the camera to boot up (turn on). You pick it up turn it on take a picture. It has just about every feature you could want in a digital camera except movies, but no SLR can take movies yet. Also would be nice if it had HDMI for digital TVs as Nikons higher end cam does. The camera is light weight, yet feels high quality. Controls are easy to use, and the viewfinder shows status of everything. The camera focuses very fast, faster than any other camera I have owned, and it's quiet. The only noise this cam makes is the mirror flipping up, and even that is quiet. The camera can haul off 3 10.2MP pictures per second! This is nothing short of amazing. Before I purchased this Nikon D40x, I did weeks of research, looked at canon, sony, and panasonic, and really this is the camera to have. I even had the budget to buy the Nikon d3000 for $2000.00, but really this camera does what I need. Sure it's limited to only new lens, but if you don't have a bunch of old lens that need a motor drive, buy this camera. Nikon, you did a great job! ... show more

Nikon D40x - problems
Style: D40X w/ 18-55mm Lens
I bought this camera 7 months ago to replace a Pentax SLR film camera. I am not pleased with my purchase. The autofocus is frequently ineffective, and I have had hundreds of shots ruined by uneven focusing. I now do not use autofocus, but manual, and I always shoot two shots of the same scene to ensure that at least one of them is in focus. The 6-point focus of other cameras appears to work better. ... show more
