Nikon D40X Details

Editors' Comments

When the Nikon D40 debuted just a few months ago, it was a significant moment for digital SLR cameras. The D40's incredibly affordable price made it a great option for budget-minded photographers looking for a solid professional-level camera, and virtually everyone who got their hands on it was satisfied by the high-quality images and comfortable design. Now, Nikon has pushed the D40 forward with a 10-megapixel sensor and price-tag that makes it competitive with other cameras that balance high-end features with mass appeal. The D40x will definitely be a powerful force in digital SLRs in 2007.
