Nikon D40x

Advantages: Quality Pictures, Easy to use, Compact
Disadvantages: Price but still worth it for a decent camera

...** Nikon D40x Digital SLR ** This is my first digital SLR camera I really like taking pictures of mainly our families dogs and cars my main hobbies, my other half had previously had been using a digital SLR that belonged to his dad, so we both went a long to Jessops that is well know for selling really good photography stuff. We had a look at various models of camera including the Canon Eos 400d which is one of this cameras biggest rival models, also looked at four or five other digital SLR models. Then eventually we started looking at the Nikon D40x my other half knew someone who had the previous model to this the Nikon D40 which had been really good, the other half had used it previously and found it a really good quality camera. So after a lot of really useful and helpful advice from the shop assistant in Jessops we chose...

D40x

Advantages: Excellent image quality and build
Disadvantages: Average value for money, limited choice of lenses

..., where the camera decides everything including whether or not to use flash. After this are several creative modes, which largely change how the image is processed. Then come the manual modes, which offer enthusiasts more control. The D40x is an excellent option for first time DSLR buyers who want a camera that will grow as they grow as photographers. I would highly reccomend it, but if you cannot afford it would also reccomend the D40, a similar camera....

Nikon D40x DSLR

Advantages: Compact for an SLR, easy to use, excellent picture quality.
Disadvantages: Battery life only allows 1000ish photos to be taken

...My review is about the Nikon D40x Digital Single Lense Reflex camera. For the last 3 years i've been taking photographs using my dad Konika Minolta Dynax 5D, but as of a few months ago i've moved in with my other half and no longer have access to my dads camera, so before christmas it was decided that we needed our own digital SLR. I'd got a couple of models in mind, the Canon EOS 500d and the Nikon D40, they both did what I wanted of them and were around the right price. Having researched them on the internet and finding somewhere to go look at them off we went to Jessops in town to have a look at them. I asked the assistant if I could look at and have a play with both and thats when I spotted the Nikon D40x, it hadn't come up in my searches on the internet and turned out that it was a better version of the D40 and had...

Nikon D40x

Advantages: Small, feature packed, easy to use, Built in Help system, auto and scene modes
Disadvantages: only three AF points, manual not so good

...we can see the result straight away. I should say that I am not a professional photographer, more an amateur who wanted to get his hands on a Digital SLR and see what he could do. So this review will be from an average joe. I was originally going to purchase a Pentax K100d as it was the cheapest DSLR around and with anti shake, even though the Canon 400d and Nikon D40x did seem to be the market leaders. I then found that the K100d had been superceded by the K100d Super and the price had gone up closer to the canon and Nikon. I spotted an offer at Currys of a Nikon D40x with 18-55mm lense for £405 plus a 55-300mm nikon lense for an extra £30 and on top of that buy now (with no deposit) pay next september. I couldn't resist. I am glad the offer came around because in the end I think I would have had to upgrade the 6MP Pentax...

NIKON D40X- An amazing piece of technology!

Advantages: Incredible quality, infininate features, decent price
Disadvantages: not as easy to transport as a compact.

...The Nikon D40x is a must have for all budding photographers! My favourite hobby is photography and I am also a digital media student, and therefore the photography equipment I buy is very important to me. I have owned this product now for ten months and I never leave home without it! Nikky, as she is know to me (sad I know!), goes everywhere with me, shooting many different scenes. The Nikon D40x is a digital SLR camera, therefore using the old fashioned use of lenses, but produces incredible results compared to normal digital cameras...i.e compact digital cameras. The Nikon D40x comes with a rechargeable battery, which simply slots into the supplied charger and charges by the main. They also come with a neck strap, to avoid the fear of dropping. The main disadvantage that some people may find with this product is the size...

Review of Nikon D40x

The EOS 40D Excellent picture quality

Advantages: Excellent picture quality, low noise, now down in price.
Disadvantages: None

...from the EOS D30 introduced in 2000 to the EOS 30D in 2006, Canon have since introduced the EOS 50D late in 2008, Canon have stressed that the EOS 50D is an additional model to the EOS 40D and not a replacement for it, and both models will continue to be produced. The EOS 50D is practically the same camera as the EOS 40D, differing only in pixel resolution, (15.1mp as opposed to 10.1mp) a couple of additional live view modes, higher LCD screen resolution, and a few cosmetic changes, and all accessories are interchangeable between the two. Brief overview The EOS 40D is a 10.1mp DSLR with an APS-C sized CMOS 22.2 x 14.8mm sensor, which means that all lenses that are used with this camera will have a crop factor of x1.6, and with its advanced features, it is aimed more at the advanced amateur or the semi-pro, (prosumer) rather...

Review of Canon EOS 40D

Nikon D40X

Advantages: Light, over 10mp, takes SD cards
Disadvantages: Limited lens choice.

...My return to SLR photography after two "compact" digital cameras. THe D40x is amazingly light compared with my previous 35mm SLRs. The basic auto prgrammes are pretty well foolproof, you really have to be doing something stupid not to get decent results with this camera. What made me go for it .... 10.8 mp , takes SD cards, cheaper than the D80. If you go for the manual settings then you have to know what you are doing. The instruction manual is precise and fairly comprehensive. It does take a bit of reading and experimentation with the various settings. I have read quite a few reviews in the photography press and in general the D40x has been well received. I bought the Nikon "kit" which comprised the body, an 18-55mm lens and a 55-200mm lens all for less than £500 which I reckon was a good deal. There are still plently...

Review of Nikon D40x

Sony KDL-40X3000

Advantages: Accurate Colours, Deep Blacks, Great HD picture
Disadvantages: Below-par video processing, expensive

...This television, for me, offers essentially everything - but at a price. Aesthetics wise, it is excellent, the glass surround adding an extra element of design often missing in new televisions. There are plenty of connections available for use on the X3000/X3500, including HDMIx3 and Componentx3, and a USB slot. Generally, I feel the Television offers very good image quality via SD Freeview, Sky or Virgin Media. During fast action scenes such as sports, the video processing of the Bravia Engine Pro lets the set down a bit - occasionally pixelated areas appear. This can be improved by activating the 'MotionFlow 100Hz' feature available, but it cannot be truely eliminated. However, HD is, as is most sets, where the Sony shines. The picture quality on Blu-Ray discs and the PlayStation 3 is excellent, with little to no motion blurring...

OK Agent WD40 . .

Advantages: Very good for many jobs.
Disadvantages: Just that you have to buy it.

...WD40. This product is made by the company that sells three in one oil, and now owns the famous 1001 company, the carpet cleaning solution. They do have a decent website, take a look, www.wd40.co.uk Check out the "Job site" where you will find a section named "Pointers by the Pros" You have just missed the WD40 free magic pen offer, I missed it too, so I have no idea what this was. OK I have just looked it up, apparently it is a pen shaped applicator, containing a small amount of WD40 of course, This does seem a good idea to me, it takes up very little room, and can be kept anywhere you may need it, which means virtually anywhere! The company is based in Milton Keynes, and has offices all over the world. They have quirte a reputation. Contact details are:- WD-40 Company Ltd Registered Office: Brick Close, Kiln Farm...

Review of WD-40 Lubrication Spray

Nikon D40 is the DSLR you'll ever need

Advantages: Excellent image quality, good core functionality of an DSLR, cheap, portable and lightweight.
Disadvantages: Megapixels may not be sufficient for some, no autobracketing and no autofocus with non-AFS lenses

...Although introduced many years ago, Nikon D40 is still my favorite DSLR due to its compact size and affordable price tag. It is the best entry level DSLR in the market, at a price much cheaper than the more expensive compacts and semi-pro. Nikon D40 is a fast 6MP camera with a large 3-inch LCD, 2.5fps continuous shooting, 1/500s flash sync and a bright viewfinder. What it lacks are a status display and a built-in auto-focus motor. Megapixel count does not matter. It only matters if you like to crop your pictures or print huge sizes. In fact, the higher the MP count the more noise is produced during capture. At 6MP, you can comfortably print at postcard size without visible loss of detail. In fact, in low light shooting, a 6MP SLR will crush 12MP compacts any time of the day. High MP count does not equate image quality, but since...
