This little gem of a camera is amazing! Your passion for photography will grow! Simple user interface great for beginners and professionals. I upgraded to the D7200 and I go back to my D40X for most all my shoots! I was hopeful I'd love my new Nikon D7200 but prefer the D40X It takes clearer photos! I recommend buying the D40X for yourself or anyone you love that wants an awesome camera without breaking the bank!!

I keep going back to D40X

Well not having a DSLR before I thought I was the problem till..........I bought a D60. Then I found out what a problem the Flash and Compensation was in the 40x. With everything set the same the D60 takes perfect pics and the 40X has a lot of over exposures. So i called tech support at Nokon and the 40x is going to the shop after 2 1/2 mos of light usage. At this point I can't say I'd recomend it or not. Because anyone can have a lemon. How the factory handles it will determine my recomendation (yes or no)

Program Mode Flash

When I first used this camera in my photography class i was amazed and impressed. I took a couple of photography classes for my art minor at CUNY John Jay college of criminal justice and I used Both the D40X (which i later purchased) and the D90....(Which I would never use ever again). What I love about the D40X is that It is light and easy to handle. Where as the D90 and up are clunky and heavier and it was hard to handle with my shaky hands and arms. I love the Editing features when i am in the field or when im not near my computer. it saves both the original and the copy of the image. in other words, I would shoot my subject and if it is dark i can lighten it up some...however, i think it loses pixels and quality. then if i want to change it to black and white it is less work to do in photoshop Cs3- CS6. I love love love the fact that it can mount just about any lens that has an F mount. Meaning that I have some lens that got from ebay for 10-40 bucks that are from 1970 - 1990ish somewhere in that time era and still take great photos....HOWEVER, YOU WILL ONLY SHOOT IN MANUEL!!! NOT AUTOMATIC!! UNLESS IT A NIKON LENS THAT CAN HANDLE AN AUTOMATIC FEATURE....

The only problem i dislike about the camera is the automatic feature. I only use it when i am doing street photography and thats rare...the automatic feature is slow...and half the time doesn't recognize the Fstock(sp) on some subjects...(for example I would take pictures of a moving subject that is fast it doesnt adjust well with the shutter speed and Fstock(SP)

I Cheat and use old lens because A) they are disposal b/c im paranoid of damaging a 400 dollar Nikon len that came with my body. and B) Most have the Fstock on the lens itself so you can see the light from the Fstock when you look through the eyepiece. I know my sigma lens all do that.

I have no problems with this product other than disliking or hating automatic mode....I even bought this camera used on ebay....

why you should buy this camera(college student at John Jay)

I bought this as a back-up for main camera which is a Nikon D70, but this has become my main camera and the D70 is the back-up. Lovely camera! Very universal and so easy to use for all shoots.

Excellent camera!

I have had my D40x since 2007, so it's almost 5 years old and has done about 50 000 shots. It's never broken nor has it had any focus issues. I also used the same battery all this time and only bought a second one a year ago as a back up. Only now has it lost a pixel for the first time. It was a very good buy and I enjoy the fact that it's light and compact. I guess it's time to upgrade to more features though!

Reliable and saitsfactory

i received this camera as a gift. WOW what great pictures it takes. easy to learn, very fast shutter, light weight. i have taken only about 200 photos so far and purchased a 55-200vr lense to go along with the 18-55 lense that came with the camera. together these lenses and camera take the best pictures I have ever taken. EXCELLENT. there are many cameras out there that take good pictures but NIKON cameras with their lenses are second to none for the price. my friend is a professional and this is the camera she carries every day for fast accurate day to day shots. COOL.

excellent camera

The D40X is one of the easiest products to use. It handling is simple and the quality of the pictures is excellent

Easy to use, great product

This is the best camera ever!!! The price is good and quality is amazing!!! I have read the manual and watched the videos thousand of times and I love this camera. I never leave the house without it. I love taking photos and now LOVE photography. It is now a sersious passion!!! Love it!!! :)

AMAZING!!!!

This camera was wonderful at first, but has broken twice in three years. The cost of repairs was zero for the first repair in year one, and $170 to fix it in year three. The auto focus did not work, and the manual setting did not focus.

D40x-starts better than it ends

This is a great camera for someone wanting to break into photography. The manual mode has all the adjustable basics a good photographer needs to explore and refine their skill. With the advent of new cameras there will always be room for upgrades, but this is an entry level tool worth the money. Use this camera to see if you want to take photography to the next level. Great point and shoot in Auto mode for the family on the go.

Amatures tool

This was my first D-SLR camera. And I'm still using it. Took great pictures right out of the box, and as my skills grew - the camera kept pace. I'm a big believer in shoot it right - not fix it later. And this camera does a great job and helps you learn all the basics. The menus and interface are a snap to learn. Frankly when I borrow my husband's D5000 I miss that!

You can't go wrong with this camera.

Great Start

Hi, This was my first SLR camera. I was very happy with the ease of use. I started with the two lens camera package and slowly added a external flash ( SB 800 ) then a 35 mm, then sold the 18-55 and 55-200 and bought the 18-200 and the 55-300 lens. Recently sold the camera and bought a D7000.

Features and a great entry level camera

I have owned this camera for a few years now, and it has served its purpose. I still use it as a back-up to my new D7000. It takes really good pictures and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to "break in" to the DSLR market. I have never had any issues with the camera not functioning properly, although with it only having 3 AF points it doesn't always capture what you want it to. You really are better off at times going to manual focus.

Good for a starter camera...

light weight, ergonomic design, easy to use. LOVE this little camera that gives BIG photos!

All around wonderful

This was my first dslr. It was simple to use, never took a bad picture and inspired me to learn more about photography to use more creative controls. It is fast and I never missed a picture of my puppys or my kids. Highly recommend

This camera is an amazing intro to DSLRs

I learned on this camera. It is excellent for the beginner photographer who wants to do more than point and shoot. It is the gateway camera for a true photo addict. with 10.2mp, this camera takes great shots at a pretty entry level price too.

Great beginner Camera

Bought my camer is 2007 and it is a Great Camera. The only problem is the built in flash goes after about 2-3 years. After reading other reviews I am not the only one. Cost $175 to fix. I go on mission trips and on my past trip I needed a camera while mine was being fixed. Bought a point and shoot. NO comparison. My Nikon D40X is a far superior product. I take many pictures of children during mission trips so the quick response is required for my pictures. Hopefully the flash won't need repair again.

This lens cam with my camera when i bought it and it great, give you bit of a zoom, plus wide angle. great for doing outdoor shots.

Great little lens

I bought this camera back in August 2007 because of a need of a negligible shutter delay found in P&S cameras. A DSLR was the only way to get an instantaneous shutter release. Now, with just over 6300 actuations, I always find subjects to shoot, and I never grow tired of it. For the beginning photographer, this entry-level DSLR is nothing short of amazing, and has everything you'll ever need. The only problems the D40x has given me were a series of switch shorts (the same switch!) in the flash mode selector button. I was without my camera three times, but at least I was still under warranty.

That aside, this camera has allowed me to grow as a beginning/intermediate photographer. But the Nikon D40x still leaves plenty of room for further growth!

Served me well for over three years

camera is excellent in every respect.it has serve me well for the last three years.the only complaint I have is with the build in flash,which has stop working three times causing me to return the camera to service under warranty.the third time is going to be expensive since warranty has expire.spite my TLC this event keep happening.other wise a great camera that gives a great deal of pleasure to a photographer.

Both my brother and my sister inlaw have this camera and they love it. Great for taking family pics and pictures of my kids playing, I looked at other cameras but love Nikon.

Great Camera

This was my first dslr and it is amazing. Great quality and easy to use. The only draw back is that it does not shoot video. I would recommend this camera to anyone who shoots photography as a hobby and wants nice quality.

Great first dslr

sharpness image it surprise me when i used in first time good color for real i never give it up , now i use a the beast D700 but still have it as backup camera it is10 megapixl so it worth it. it's my best friend every where always withe me small light accurate easy to use. LOVE U NIKON ^_^
