Advantages: Optical quality and build excellent Disadvantages: Being very fussy no neck strap on case
I bought these binoculars as I was looking for a new pair of good quality bin,s for birdwatching on a budget.Having searched a long time for a pair of roof prism's at around £100 + for a half decent pair, I was amazed by the quality and of the optics and the price of these porro prism bins. The sharpness, brightness & colour rendition is superb, a real testament to the optical quality. I can't imagine how I managed to live with my previous bin's for so long.
The feel of these bin's is solid and well built, being very comfortable in the hand, if a little on the heavy side. They come with a comfortable neck strap and a soft case, although the case annoyingly doesn't have a neck strap. The body is fully rubber armorred & although not stated as being waterproof, I have found them to be very durable when out in the field.

Advantages: Quality Pictures, Easy to use, Compact Disadvantages: Price but still worth it for a decent camera
the Nikon D40x it had everything we wanted including a sport mode which was the main feature I wanted, as border collies don't keep still for very long!
Me knowing absolutely nothing about digital SLR cameras was just happy to have a cool new camera get it home and try it out.
** The Nikon D40x Features **
*Auto-Focus
Just like the previous model (D40) this camera has an auto focus feature all though it does not have a built in focus drive motor, so only works with lenses that have their own built in drive motor, suitable lenses for this feature are AF-S and AF-I lenses.
The auto focus is brilliant for fast moving dogs and cars and anything else that moves so you can get pictures quickly, features of the auto focus include?
Three area TTL phase detection, Nikon Multi-CAM530 auto focus module
Detection range: EV -1 to +19

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Nikon D40x
Advantages: Great looking. Cool colours Disadvantages: Very poor picture quality
I purchased this camera for my daughter in blue for her birthday and she immediately loved the color and the size of the camera. The problem was the picture and the video quality. The pictures were coming out grainy and showed up with rainbow dots. The video she took had visible pink stripes and also rainbow dots showing up. I was not satisfied with this camera, so I returned it within a few days. I was surprised that this camera had poor image quality since it is 10 MP and made by Nikon. I would not recommend this camera. Poor image quality outweighs the good qualities of this camera. High levels of jpeg artifacting coupled with medium levels of chromatic abberation result in image sharpness and contrast lower than that of a 2 megapixel camera, save your money. Do not buy this camera. surprisingly bad for Nikon. ...
