Leave it to Nikon to take a great camera and make it even better. The D40x starts with the same compact, lightweight body and user-friendly design as their popular D40, but offers impressive 10.2-megapixel resolution for remarkably detailed photos, plus a speedy three frame-per-second continuous shooting mode for catching fast-moving action.
Fast, responsive handling
If you've ever missed a perfect photo opportunity because your digital camera just couldn't keep up, you may be ready for the D40x. Its 0.2-second startup time, near-instant shutter response, and speedy autofocus won't leave you waiting. You'll get crisp, in-focus shots as quickly as you can turn on the camera. Save your photos to optional SD™ memory cards (no memory included).
Precise exposures and detailed images
The D40x makes it easy to capture images exactly as you envision them. Nikon's impressive light metering system uses an on-board database of over 30,000 scenes from actual photos to compare and evaluate your shots for accurate exposure. The camera's 10.2-megapixel image sensor and highly advanced image processor team together to deliver vivid, high-resolution images with more than enough detail for cropping out portions of a shot, blowing them up, and printing them at large sizes.
Easy operation and a bright, clear display
Nikon's thoughtful design and attention to detail make it a pleasure to operate the D40x. The large, crisp 2-1/2" LCD monitor is very helpful for reviewing your photos. There's a row of handy buttons for accessing important features — that way, you'll spend less time navigating the camera's menu system. Nikon's clever "Help" function lets you view a brief explanation of the custom functions on the camera — great for folks who are just getting the hang of advanced photography, and for experts who don't want to carry around the manual.
Plus, this camera offers tons of hands-on controls for advanced users. Flash compensation and autofocus-assist illumination give you crisp, accurate shots in low light. And you get full manual control of focus and exposure for true hands-on photography. The supplied 18-55mm Zoom-Nikkor ED lens provides great all-around picture-taking, and the included rechargeable battery lets you capture up to 520 photos on a single charge.
