Nikon D40x 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens Reviews
Still, in my opinion, this camera doesn't need an upgrade. It's great. I took a while converting from film to digital. I have upgraded one or two times, but finally had to get an SLR. So you're reading the advice of a hobbyist, a casual taker of pictures, not by any means a pro or even a knowledgeable amateur. I could use it happily for the next two decades.
Somewhere around 2004, I bought my first point-and-shoot digital camera, and it was good enough to keep. After a year of using it, I am starting to get the urge to own a D300, but I am also thinking about upgrading the lenses. But to the original point again: the picture quality from this camera is fabulous. My first two digital cameras (back around 2000) were sold within a week of purchase. And my comment basically amounts to one thing: the picture quality just blew me away. It's not just a question of megapixels, either: as many have pointed out, the most important actor is probably the glass (lens).
Highly recommended, I plan on using this till 2012. A++ Have been using this camera for travel assignments and on-the-go when I need to spend a lot of time wandering around, and is an excellent light-weight and inconspicuous body. Still works with many Nikon lenses, though you'll need to manual focus with some of them. Fantastic small form factor in a surprisingly high-quality image.
I love Nikon products and the quality is great. I like It, It's a great little camera.
(AF-S and AF-I only). -Limited number of lenses available. Cons:. -Takes amazing shots. -Good build quality. -Light.
-Easy to use. -Great for beginners. Pros:. -Fast. It's fast, takes great pictures and really easy to use. If you are new to DSRL world, then this camera is for you. The only downside I can think of is the lack of drive motor, which limits the number of auto-focus lenses you can use.
I was very leery to buy a good camera on the internet. Works like a charm. This camera came w/ everything promised, it was all packaged and never used. Came promptly, too.
