Welcome to the World of Nikon Digital
Extraordinary Nikon Image Quality The D40x''s high-resolution image quality is made possible by Nikon''s high-performance 10.2 effective megapixel Nikon DX format CCD imaging sensor and exclusive Nikon image-processing engine, assuring stunning sharpness and color.
Nikon''s Smallest Digital SLR Ever! Beautifully styled, the D40x makes high-performance digital SLR photography easier and more convenient than ever. You''ll be amazed at the power packed into a camera that weighs just over 16 ounces.
High-Performance 10.2 Megapixel Nikon DX Format CCD Imaging Sensor - Nikon?s DX Format CCD image sensor delivers vivid color and sharp detail, great for making beautifully detailed enlargements of 24 x 36 inches and beyond. High resolution also provides room for creative cropping.
Fast Startup with Instant Shutter Response - A fast 0.18 second startup combined with split-second shutter response and rapid-action shooting at up to 3 frames per second makes it easy to freeze special moments instantly.
Shoot at up to 3 Frames per Second - The D40x can fire continuously at a speed of up to 3 frames per second, capturing high-quality action sequences of children in sporting activities such as soccer, baseball and much more.
2.5-Inch, 230,000-Dot Color LCD Monitor with 170-Degree Wide-Angle Viewing - Playback images are easy to see and function menus are easier to use with a larger and brighter color LCD monitor. The large 2.5-inch LCD monitor enables image preview at up to 19 times magnification and has large type fonts with easy-to-view menus.
3 Colorful Display Options - All new display options: Classic, Graphic and Wallpaper. Carefully designed color schemes help make changing camera settings easier than ever.
Built-in Speedlight with i-TTL Automatic Flash Control - Nikon''s innovative i-TTL flash control evaluates flash exposure with incredible precision to achieve better automatic flash balance and deliver outstanding results. The built-in Speedlight is always at the ready and brings beautiful exposures in darkened conditions, as well as adding sparkle for fill flash in outdoor situations for enhanced twilight shots or an added impact to daylight images. In low-light or back-light situations, added illumination from the built-in Speedlight can make the difference between an average snapshot and a dazzling picture.
8 Digital-Vari Program Automatic Shooting Modes - Eight Digital Vari-Program Modes include: Auto Flash-OFF, Portrait, Landscape, Child, Sports, Close Up and Night Portrait; each of which adjusts automatically for optimal results for everyday shooting situations. Each mode considers lighting conditions and possibilities, aperture, shutter speed, white balance, hue, tone, sharpening and more to make creative photography as simple as rotating the mode dial.
In-Camera Image Editing - Highly versatile in-camera editing features through the Retouch Menu include Nikon D-Lighting, Red-Eye Correction, Image Trim, Image Overlay, Monochrome (Black and White, Sepia and Cyanotype) along with Skylight, Warm Tone and Color Balance filter effects. This provides greater creative freedom without the need for a computer, for those who prefer to send pictures directly to a printer.
New Advanced HELP Menu System with Assist Images - The D40x''s newly introduced Assist Images help you select the appropriate settings for many camera features by showing an example image typical of that setting, as well as an advanced HELP Menu for the current item selected. The D40x''s Question Mark icon (?) indicates that help is available for the currently selected item; just press the HELP button beside the LCD monitor to see a context-sensitive HELP page.
Nikon 3D Color Matrix Metering II - The D40x''s 3D Color Matrix Metering II evaluates each scene for brightness, color, contrast, size and position of shadows and highlights, selected focus area and camera-to-subject distance, comparing that information against an onboard database of more than 30,000 actual photographic scenes. The result delivers instantly and precisely determined exposures for each scene, even in challenging lighting conditions.
Fast, Accurate 3-Area Autofocus - The D40x''s advanced 3-Area AF system and the refined algorithms inherited from more advanced Nikon digital SLR cameras deliver fast, efficient and precise Autofocus. AF refinements deliver greater precision with fast, more consistent subject acquisition and improved focus tracking for consistently sharper pictures.
Image Optimization Options - The D40x''s Image Optimize setting lets photographers adjust color, contrast and sharpening, as well as other image settings, according to the type of scene or output desired. Settings include: Normal, Softer, Vivid, More Vivid, Portrait, Custom and Black and White, each of which are automatically adjusted based on sophisticated Nikon algorithms or user-selected settings for optimum results.
Up to 520 Images* per Battery Charge - The supplied EN-EL9 rechargeable battery will allow for shooting up to 520 images per charged based on CIPA battery testing standards.

I purchased this to get serious about my photo business. I was new to the DSLR world, but had worked with many film cameras in the past. I was looking for ease of use to get depth of field and control over lighting effects when I purchased this camera, and it has solidly delivered. I've tried other SLRs and while some may offer a few extra whizbangs, this camera's ease of use in any mode has made me fall in love with photography all over again.

I have used the Rebel XT, D40, D200, and the D40X.
I found the D200 to be to bulky and heavy. The Rebel XT has a super small LCD and is 8MP.
The D40 lacking megapixels and FPS.
And the D40X to be outstanding!
The D40X is the best camera i've ever used.
I found it to be small, lightweight, have a large LCD, extreame clairity and sharpness do to it's 10.2MP, and a exelent 3 frames per second (FPS).

My husband had been wanting to get me a SLR camera for years because he knew I wanted to get into professional photography. Last May he decided because I had not gotten a Anniversary, Birthday or Valentines gift really in two years that he wanted to get me a really nice camera. After some research we found this one. [...]My husband works in Chicago and last summer I went all over the city taking pictures. My 6 older nieces love when I get it out and start snapping pictures. I hope to eventually take some professional lessons so that I can wein myself off of the presets, plus I can work on that stuff once I am done with school. 18 graduate hours does not leave me much time to play, but when I can I do. If you are in the market for a great camera, especially for a beginner who wants to take great pictures, then this is for you. Once you have it you will never want to live without it. If you buy at a Ritz or Wolfe store and if you get the same thing I did, but have not used...you will get 12 or 14 class coupons to take local classes on how to better operate your camera. I plan to take some this summer.

My wife wanted to upgrade our digital camera from a point and shoot. We looked around at the various options of point and shoot and DSLR. We live in a rural area and so going to check out cameras is no small feat for us. We stopped by a Wolf Camera and checked out their myriad options. We decided on the Nikon 40X and LOVE IT. The quick response time, color saturation, ease of use, complete compatibility with Mac and Aperture (our digital photography software) is seamless. The two lens package, bag and memory cards are such a bonus for the price. No regrets!

Right now, I'm using this camera for personal/hobby use, but in a few months, it'll be used for a part-time business. I love most everything about this camera. It is definately well worth the investment. My photos are turning out perfect. My one regret is that you can only use the view finder to shoot the photos. That's just personal preference though. Other than that, it's fabulous! I'd highly recommend this to someone with an interest in 'real' photography!

Comments about Nikon D40x Digital SLR Two-Lens Bonus Outfit (18-55/55-200) - Includes FREE Gadget Bag and DVDs:
Used to have a SLR years ago, then went through the standard point & shoot film to digital and my last digital camera was a step down from being a SLR digital. I had outgrown that and wanted an upgrade. The DVD vidoes helped me refresh my memory about various settings. Went shooting the first weekend and was very, very impressed. The costs was a bit to deal with at first but I got over it as soon as I saw the pics and ease of shooting. The only negative is that my belt buckle scratched the LCD monitor within the first 24 hours of ownership. It's still viewable, just gave you the same feeling of when you get the first ding in your new car. It's a great camera!

Purchased this unit because of the long list of available lenses, and the available "body armor" We give it a real daily workout taking pictures in extreme conditions for our wildlife website, [@]I have used the D80, which has exactly the same processor. The only very minor drawback to the D40 is the slightly longer lag, rarely a problem outdoors. THIS IS A GREAT BUY!

Comments about Nikon D40x Digital SLR Two-Lens Bonus Outfit (18-55/55-200) - Includes FREE Gadget Bag and DVDs:
Great package for the price. I was a diehard 35mm SLR and took time to move into Digital. I had the pocket digital, but researched a lot until decided on this outfit. Boy I am glad I did. Super easy to use in auto mode and with very little thought, picking the other settings is easy. Purchased just prior to going to a pro-football game. Charged the battery, attatched the 55-200 and started clcking away in sports mode. I was able to take action shots, crop them and they look amazing. Detail with this thing is awesome. The body is a little smaller then traditional SLR and may become awkward if attaching larger lenses, but for shooting kids sporting events, plays, b-days and holdays this is a great camera. Cant give it 5 stars yet, because still new to me, but getting there

I went to Paris last March & decided that my point/shoot just wasn't enough for my newfound enthusiasm for photography, so I decided to upgrade. So far, this camera's been great, I love the pics I've taken w/it. Probably a few too many controls to memorize for the amateur like me but I know I just need to practice more often! Still, I love this camera! Probably paid more than I orig wanted to but I'm more than pleased I did! Now I can't wait to get back on the streets of Paris!

this is a great camera. very light so we added the armor to protect it and it gives a nice feel to it. the only con is not being able to use the lcd instead of the viewfinder to take pics. the pics come out clear and colorful. we are very happy with this camera!

I was a little hesistant about committing so much $ to a camera. But I'm in the process of starting my own business and it was time for an upgrade. After my first shoot with this camera, I am 100% sold on it! I absolutely love it! It is the best camera I have owned! I look forward to many shoots with this camera, it is wonderful!!

This camera has been great so far, only had it a few days. Want to take tons of pictures of my family and of my dogs. Looks great, sleek design, quality is wonderful, if only I can get better @ understanding the controls...I will with time.
Definitely a nice piece of equipment from amateur to semi-pro.

I received my order. Working full time, attending school, etc. doesn't leave me much time to watch dvd's or read instructions, however, the camera is easy enough to jump right in and start taking pictures. I believe it is a great starting point for anyone who wants to get into photography at their own pace.

Comments about Nikon D40x Digital SLR Two-Lens Bonus Outfit (18-55/55-200) - Includes FREE Gadget Bag and DVDs:
This combo offer was a great deal. I have been out of the SLR world for several years and the D40x was where I decided to jump back in at.
I am still playing around with it and getting used to the controls and the menu navigation but so far it seems fairly simple. I would place this camera somewhere between my Pentax K1000se and my Pentax me. You can have total control, or let the camera automate everything for you. My test shots so far have shown me that the D40x is capable of great shots either way. I made a 5mp jump from my Olympus, WOW, what a difference. Crazy sharp & detailed pics. The LCD is WOW bright & sharp, even seems pretty bright even in daylight. The viewfinder is just as sharp & clear. Others here have complained that it is dark, but I don't find it any darker than my old cameras. I will get an eye cup to put on it though just to make it a bit sharper & brighter.
As for any cons... I find the lenses, especially the 55-200 to have a rough feeling when turning the zoom barrel. And the lenses just don't have that solid feel to them. I think in their quest to lighten the lens they compromised function & quality. I think Nikon may of skimped on these made in china lenses. Not what I am used to from my older solid Pentax lenses. The camera itself is a bit smaller than film SLR's. I have small hands and find that my left hand has a hard time finding just the right spot to rest the body/lens in. This really isn't a big deal to me, but I know that it may be to others. The body isn't as solid feeling as my older film SLR's, but I am not as solid as I used to be either ;> Lastly, I do sort of miss having a depth of field preview button. I don't understand why Nikon couldn't put one on? I am sure I will get by without!
Just so you know my knowledge/experience level I have had several cameras over the years, Pentax K1000se, Pentax ME, Pentax p3, Richo & Konica viewfinder cameras and a Rooleiflex large format and lastly an Olympus C5000 "pocket" digital.

I decided to upgrade from a point and shoot SLR like camera due to the shutter speed.[...]I love this camera, so far I have taken shots of soccer games, our new house we are building, and general pictures and everything turns out great. I love the fact that I can pick a shot and click I take it, unlike my SLR like which was a 50/50 shot at a picture being taken or such long lag times that the opportunity was missed.[...]I highly reccomend this camera for any first time user, it is very easy to use and takes great pictures.

This is a great camera for someone who wants to get into SLR cameras. It's very easy and user friendly for the novice. It's fully automatic for someone who doesn't quite understand all the manually settings yet. Once you learn and pratice all the manual settings, this camera is even better.
This camera does lack a few features that other cameras in the similar class, but I never missed them. This has been a great SLR camera and now I'm ready upgrade into a more professional camera.

At first I was intimadated to use it, but that went all out the window after a few hours playing around with it. I can't wait to learn the in's and out's and purchase more lenses. You definately will not be disappointed in this camera!
this one is my favorite so far

I started with the old standard nothing automatic but since have delved into the digital relam from 1.0 megapixel to 12 megapixel and microsoft paint to photoshop cs, i can control every aspect of my photography from the push of the button to the final editing and prints. This camera is a wonderful addition for shutterbugs at any level who want to begin an adventure in picture taking or earn money shooting weddings or birthdays for friends and family, or even dare i say it express their personal art, with vivid color and complete control to imagine, construct, develop & display!

My pervious camera was a point and shoot so I was apprehensive about using a SLR because they seem so intimidating. But I simply love this camera. It is very easy to use and the picture quality is amazing. I would recommend this camera to anyone. It’s lightweight and small for an SLR. I also love the fact that I can capture a photo exactly when I want it to, not 3 seconds later like my point and shoot camera. I have had the camera for 2 months and I have probably taken 6,000+ pictures. This camera is a must have!

Coming from a point-and-shoot to this was a bit intimidating. I was taught photography the old-school way from taking the pictures to developing the film and prints....but just couldn't get past trying to take pictures through a tiny view finder. Then came digital and I've jumped back into photography with enthusiasm...I absolutely loved being able to take pictures just simply by pointing the camera instead of pulling the camera up to my eye, squinting into it, trying to find your subject and then make the adjustments you want/need and then snap the picture. I know this can function completely on the Auto setting, but if this is the type of photography you are looking for, save yourself $600 and get a high-end full digital. With all that being said, this really is a "real" photographers camera and I can see the superior quality in the pictures. I'm sure I'll grow to love it and wonder why I ever settled for a full digital.....I hope.

Picked it up just before going on a camping trip with the Grandson, did not have the time to read all the directions so just settled for the quick setup. Spent time over the weekend reading when time permitted. Bought the SB-600 flash unit along with the package. What a great combination.

I love this camera.. I had a hard time choosing which one to get between the Canon XTi, Sony Alpha 100 and the Nikon D40. I choose this one because of the 10mp which helps out wonderfully when cropping. I thought I wouldnt be cropping so thats why i almost got the D40 but i just got this one just in case i would and guess what I do more cropping than expected. Its a great camera to start off with.. has plenty of features and options to mess around with to... its a great camera and totally recommend it..

In 2 days, I have taken over 800 pictures. I have a family of owls on my property and have been trying to photograph the baby for weeks. My point and shoot 4x zoom just wouldn't get it. I couldn't get close enough. This camera is so good I can get awesome pictures even without the flash. It is quiet enough I can get within 20 ft. of the owlet and not scare him off. I took it to the zoo the 2nd day I had it. Absolutely amazing photos. Some of them looked like National Geographic photos - and it's not me, it’s the camera that did that. This is the best camera I have ever owned. Nikon has made a great product. It's lightweight. I carried the camera, bag and 2 lenses around all day at the zoo with no problem. The picture clarity is unbelievable. Inside the aquarium with the flash off - picked up on the tank’s lighting. What you see through the view finder is what you get. It processes pictures quickly. I have a 2G memory card and even with over 600 photos on it there’s no lag time during continuous shooting. If you are reading this wondering like I was if you should buy this camera - YOU SHOULD! You won’t be disappointed.

I upgraded to the Nikon D40 after five years of using point and shoot cameras. I chose the Nikon D40 based on its great reviews, extensive selection of accessories, and the chance of using my mother's Nikon D40x and loving the pictures it produced.I got a Nikon D40 bundle - the camera body, two lenses, a Nikon gadget bag and two instructional DVDs for a great price[...]. I have now had the camera for a little over two weeks, and I can't put it down! I've taken close to 2,000 photos, and I have no plans on stopping any time soon. I can't get enough of being able to take shots of my two children - a constantly on the move baby and a busy toddler - and having them come out with no blur, no grain.The camera is very easy to use, it takes pictures of what I want, focuses on what I want it to focuses on, and best of all: it responds instantly!I love, love LOVE this camera. If/when I do upgrade, it'll be to another Nikon - probably the D80!

After reading reviews of this camera in various photography magazines and online sources; I decided to go and check it out for myself at a Ritz store. It has received very impressive reviews that certainly impressed me. I am not a pro by any means, but I am better than just the occasional snap shot. And, as such I wanted better both in and for my camera. I really believe that Nikon has really delivered in this camera. You can achieve truly excellent photos with this camera as an entry level semi-pro DSLR. I have owned an excellent F-series Nikon from 30 years ago and boy, what creative freedom one has with going digital vs. film!
Other than having to manually focus with lenses that are not designated AF-S (which to me is not a big deal), you have a vast array of Nikon lenses, filters, etc that can be used with this camera to achieve any type of photo desired.
I highly recommend this camera to anyone as it is very easy to use and takes gorgeous photos.
My only complaint is that to me (perhaps it's a personal issue) the menus and sub- menus are at times difficult to use.
Bottom line is, I highly recommend this camera to anyone.

Here are some photos from the D40x that I purchased today.
I went to a fireworks show and couldn't seem to force it to take photos in low light. I'm sure there's a setting which would allow me to take pictures of a dark sky, but I couldn't find it.
Anyway, that was the only thing I had trouble doing and it's my first day. I love this thing.
The quality is fantastic.

I bought this camera because it is smaller and lighter and I carry it when I travel. Moving from an N70 to this I really appreciated the difference after hiking in the Grand Canyon. However, when I bought the camerra I was not aware that I would have to manually focus the lenses I had for the N70. I love that it uses SD cards which I have from a point and shoot camera. Great camera but be aware of the lenses.
