  • 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

  • Dusty but great camera
Style: Body Only
Arrived In a zip lock bag inside a box. The camera insides were very dusty but a little cleaning gave it justice.

  • 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

  • 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
