An ideal first DSLR thanks to onscreen help. It takes great shots and the battery lasts for ages.
Review Verdict: The other difference from the 400D is that the D40x is clearly aimed at DSLR novices. Like the 400D, there's no separate status LCD, so all settings that aren't shown in the viewfinder have to be relayed on the 2.5in rear LCD. This is a much slower proces

No more than five months after we reviewed Nikon's entry-level six-megapixel D40, the company has released an upgraded version, the D40x.

Pros: Durable build, with large bright viewfinder. Wide sensitivity range including ISO3200 maximum, 2 per cent spot-metering and fast flash sync.
