Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Nikon D40x
Advantages: Movies, LiveView, 12.3 mpixels, build quality, excellent lens range Disadvantages: Still quite bulky for casual use. Expensive if that's all you want it for
There?s been a legion of digital cameras that have passed through my hands since they started to become a serious contender for 35mm?s domination of the amateur market. Going from memory, they?ve included Philips, Casio, Canon, Nikon and errr?..Nikon. Of course the last one, my first DSLR, a Nikon D70 was going to be the last; but then we all say that don?t we, lads?
What I really meant was ?the last for quite a while?.
LOOKS LIKE THE ?QUITE A WHILE? HAS EXPIRED
Then my daughter started making noises about a night-school class in photography, where the minimum kit requirement just so happened to be a DSLR, and I got to thinking about letting her have the D70 for a ?song?, whilst good ol? Dad treats himself to the later and much higher-specified D90.
Since I bought the D70 four or five years back, things have moved on apace ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: exceptional Review of Nikon D90
Advantages: Compact for an SLR, easy to use, excellent picture quality. Disadvantages: Battery life only allows 1000ish photos to be taken
a 10mp CCD instead of just 6mp.
I had a play with the Canon EOS 500d and the Nikon D40x and decided that the D40x was a far nicer camera to hold and use and wasn't much more expensive (only about £20).
Whilst I was in the store I decided it worthwhile (being as they would also work out cheapers) to purchase a few accessories for the camera:
Lense Filter (UV) basically to stop anything damaging the lense, it's cheaper to buy a filter for a few £'s than a whole new lense.
Tripod, I love taking night shots and timed exposures so this was vital.
Accessory bag, big enough for any additional items in the future and lalso a smaller regular digital camera.
2gb Memory card, enough for 600+ photos
Lense hood, for sunny days.
Lense cleaning cloth, don't want to damage any of the expensive glass!
After we'd paid for the camera ...
