Didn't realize how I could get such good shots

(John West - 8/27/08)

I have owned a nikon before back when I was much younger and film was the norm. Until this December I have been pretty loyal to Canon Digital cameras (Always the powershot series) and strayed to a Sanyo HD Xacti, then was given the D40x for Christmas and man I had no idea. The clarity and vivid differences between the Sanyo and the Nikon are like Night and Day. understandably one is more SLR like while the other is a video camera playing at being a still camera. But still, if your going to say you take a still picture you shoudl at least provide a decent quality effort and I had no idea what I was missing until I had the Nikon D40x. It's a jump in megapixels yes, but I believe it is more noticible in the operation of the camera. With other cameras i had been used to waiting on the camera, the D40x is just as quick and snappy as my old FE body was. Turning out wonderful pictures with both the standard and zoom lens it came with.
