I have no complaint with this camera I have used for almost two years now as a vacation/hiking camera. I shoot at a daily paper so I'm used to using pro gear and this body is a tad small, but I got it for it's light weight. I must comment on this insane 900.00 price. from Amazon.com I'm not a professional but travel in remote and unusual places. I must admit it is a bit heavy and not easy to whip out. It does intimidate people a bit. but the photos are outstanding. from Amazon.com D40X is a good all-around camera for the basic user, all programmable and fully manual, for the more advanced user. from Amazon.com Right after 1 year the built-in flash on my D40x broke. Oddly, built-in flashes on other cameras I own, such as a 5-10 year old Sony still work fine. from Amazon.com I had hinted to santa that this was what I wanted for Christmas. Christmas came and went with no camera under the tree. So, I took advantage of a good deal at Amazon and purchased the D40x kit and also the 55-200mm VR lens. A year later and I'm still pleased with my purchase. from Amazon.com I took a while converting from film to digital. My first two digital cameras (back around 2000) were sold within a week of purchase. from Amazon.com Fantastic small form factor in a surprisingly high-quality image. 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. Highly recommended, I plan on using this till 2012. from Amazon.com I like It, It's a great little camera. I love Nikon products and the quality is great!!! from Amazon.com Cons: -Limited number of lenses available. (AF-S and AF-I only) from Amazon.com For the price, this is a fine camera. The 10 Megapixel sensor takes excellent images - and the camera is small and lightweight. I purchased this body, and added the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED Lens. Nice lens and with this body is a better value than the Canon XTi in my opinion - even these less expensive the Nikon lenses are better than the Canon lenses, and certainly the poor kit lens that the Canon XTi comes with. from Amazon.com
