Okay, I will admit it... I'm still shooting with a Nikon D40X and I absolutely love the thing. It's like an old battle axe. I've never had a single bit of trouble with it and still use the original battery which I just keep recharging. I know there are better, newer, nicer and more expensive Nikons out there, but I just refuse to give the thing up! It's like an old comfortable pair of boots, why change when it still shoots so well. Comments ?
The Nikon D40x was my first digital camera. It really worked well for me, then I decided to move up to the D7000 for more enlargeable photos, and gave the D40x to my Daughter, who is using it now and loves it. I used it for a wile as a back-up. The D40x is a very dependable camera, that never gave me any trouble at all, and the batteries are still going like a bunny. If the photo files are as large as you need, then why would you need to get an more expensive model. Enjoy that D40x, it is the last of the great easy to use models from Nikon in DSLR. One day, you may want to hand it down to another family member, and they will enjoy it too!
