Nikon must be continued to compete SLR competition especially with Canon in SLR camera. In this case, Nikon can win in price aspect. SLR D40x is more cheaper than another SLR from Canon or Pentax. The quality of the picture was produced with D40x very good.
From this cheap SLR, don't wish that we will get an extra SD card. Although this SLR use SD card interface not CF (Compact Flash) interface so it can be considered which not take benefit for user of another SLR, because another SLR usually use CF interface.
D40x is very easy to use, interface can operate as simple as compact camera. All menu is easy to understand and easy to perform in a view finder. But, the lens that was offered apparently more uninteresting, cause the lens just 18-55mm. The Lens can work very good, smooth and sharp, but that lens look like more conventional than other competitor. Luckily, it doesn't matter associate with it cheaper price.
D40x view finder is wider and better if we compare with another view finder. The display look very bright and we should easily use an interface to arrange it.
Conclusion It's one of a good product from Nikon but I think not the best one. There isn't an interface CF make another SLR user will receive a difficulty to use CF card he has. But depend on all it, honestly of course D40x still deserve for us to buy it.
