5 out of 5 stars Fantastic camera for the price. Amatuer and pros alike will find useful.   October 9, 2008
Fantastic small form factor in a surprisingly high-quality image. Have been using this camera for travel assignments and on-the-go when I need to spend a lot of time wandering around, and is an excellent light-weight and inconspicuous body. Still works with many Nikon lenses, though you'll need to manual focus with some of them.

Highly recommended, I plan on using this till 2012. A++



4 out of 5 stars The Nikon D40x   September 30, 2008
I like It, It's a great little camera. I love Nikon products and the quality is great!!!


5 out of 5 stars Great beginner DSLR   September 29, 2008
Pros:
-Light.
-Great for beginners.
-Easy to use.
-Good build quality.
-Takes amazing shots.
-Fast.

Cons:
-Limited number of lenses available. (AF-S and AF-I only)

If you are new to DSRL world, then this camera is for you. It's fast, takes great pictures and really easy to use. The only downside I can think of is the lack of drive motor, which limits the number of auto-focus lenses you can use.



5 out of 5 stars Great service. Great camera.   September 8, 2008
I was very leery to buy a good camera on the internet. This camera came w/ everything promised, it was all packaged and never used. Works like a charm. Came promptly, too!


3 out of 5 stars Nikon D40x - problems   August 30, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

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.
