Carefully designed color schemes help make changing camera settings easier than ever. Built-in Speedlight with i-TTL automatic flash control Nikon's innovative i-TTL flash control evaluates flash exposure with incredible precision to achieve better automatic flash balance and deliver outstanding results. The built-in Speedlight is always at the ready and brings beautiful exposures in darkened conditions, as well as adding sparkle for fill flash in outdoor situations for enhanced twilight shots or an added impact to daylight images. In low-light or back-light situations, added illumination from the built-in Speedlight can make the difference between an average snapshot and a dazzling picture. 8 Digital-Vari Program automatic shooting modes Eight Digital Vari-Program Modes include: Auto Flash-OFF, Portrait, Landscape, Child, Sports, Close Up and Night Portrait; each of which adjusts automatically for optimal results for everyday shooting situations. Each mode considers lighting conditions and possibilities, aperture, shutter speed, white balance, hue, tone, sharpening and more to make creative photography as simple as rotating the mode dial.

New advanced HELP Menu system with Assist Images The D40x's newly introduced Assist Images help you select the appropriate settings for many camera features by showing an example image typical of that setting, as well as an advanced HELP Menu for the current item selected. The D40x's Question Mark icon (?) indicates that help is available for the currently selected item; just press the HELP button beside the LCD monitor to see a context-sensitive HELP page. Nikon 3D Color Matrix Metering II The D40x's 3D Color Matrix Metering II evaluates each scene for brightness, color, contrast, size and position of shadows and highlights, selected focus area and camera-to-subject distance, comparing that information against an onboard database of more than 30,000 actual photographic scenes. The result delivers instantly and precisely determined exposures for each scene, even in challenging lighting conditions. Fast, accurate 3-Area Autofocus The D40x's advanced 3-Area AF system and the refined algorithms inherited from more advanced Nikon digital SLR cameras deliver fast, efficient and precise Autofocus. AF refinements deliver greater precision with fast, more consistent subject acquisition and improved focus tracking for consistently sharper pictures. Enjoy easy in-camera optimization.

Settings include: Normal, Softer, Vivid, More Vivid, Portrait, Custom and Black and White, each of which are automatically adjusted based on sophisticated Nikon algorithms or user-selected settings for optimum results.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you send me pics of the camera? im very interested in buying it.**
A: Yes.  What is your email?  Do you want pics the camera has taken or pictures of the camera itself?

**Q: Does the camera work as a regular person will expect and accept a SD card?**
A: I am not sure what a regular person is.  The camera does use an SD card.  This is an excellent dslr (not full frame) that has multiple menus for composing great photos.  Using and experimenting with various settings is a great way to learn about composing pictures.  It can also be as simple as setting it on auto and shooting away.  But if that is all you are going to do you might as well save some money and buy a good point and shoot camera.

**Q: Does it come with the charger?**
A: Yes it certainly should, but if you're purchasing the body only, you'd better check with the seller and ask them.

**Q: Hello, all usa nikon d40x came with the lens. only the gray market came without a lens. is the lens removed from the box or is this gray market.**
A: I am keeping the lens.  I can add the lens for more money if you are interested in the lens. I have all the Nikon  USA paperwork and original box

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to Use, Bargain Price, GREAT pictures
*by M***A on November 6, 2007*

First let me say, this is not a 'professional' camera. This is a prosumer camera, or a camera a professional might use as a backup. At 10.2 MP, the image quality is very good and you can blow pictures up and crop them, and still end up with a good image.I researched DSLRs for 2 weeks, reading about them and playing with them at Circuit City. I chose the Nikon D40x for the following reasons...1) Heavier construction, more durable than the Canon Digital Rebel XTi1a) Also feels better in my hand, which was a personal perference.2) .1 MP higher than the Canon3) 4.1 MP higher than the Nikon D404) $350 less than the D80 (I would have preferred the D80, but I wasn't trying to spend $1500+ after getting more lenses and accessories).5) $632 for the D40x with the 18-55mm kit lens, which is much better than Canon's 28-55mm kit lens (which has horrible reviews).6) Nikkor Lenses-- cannot say enough about how important it is to have a good lens. Nikon seems to have the best lenses on the market.7) Takes an SD card-- the Canon takes a CF card. SD cards are cheaper for the same GBs8) Nikon has a better warranty situation and I heard they are very customer oriented.9) Nikon name is legendary in photography, and has the best and most easily available equipment.10) For $975 (several purchases on Amazon), I got the following: D40x with 18-55mm lens, 55-200mm VR (vibration reduction lens), Nikon ballistic bag, extra battery (2 total), Nikon guide to photography, 2GB Sandisk Extreme III SD card, Sandisk USB card reader, (2) different Nikon Lens protective padded pouches, Nikon Microfiber lens/screen rag, Nikon Pen style brush lens cleaner, Digital Recovery Software, and Digital Photo Editing Software. Also included was a free trial of Photoshop.All in all, this is a perfect camera for someone who is interested in DSLR photography but doesn't know squat about Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed, F-stops, Manual Focusing, Bokeh, etc. This camera makes it easy to get introduced to DSLR photography without feeling overwhelmed. It additionally is great for someone who is on a budget-- such as a college or high school student who wants to pursue photography as a career. The quality of pictures is absolutely amazing for a $632 camera (and that includes a GOOD lens).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lot of bang for the buck
*by H***T on August 23, 2007*

The D40 is Nikon's entry level DSLR. The D40X is an improved version with a 10 Megapixel sensor instead of the 6 MP that the D40 has. I haven't used my D40X much yet, but like what I've seen.Picture quality is great, as good as any 10 MP camera and better than most, thanks to Nikon optics. I can take 3 frames/second, which is a big help for rapid action. Most controls are easy to get to, but knowing which button does what involves a fairly steep learning curve.On the down side: One display, on the back. This means that menus can be crowded and it can take a while to find the setting you're trying to change. While bracketing is easy, it cannot be automated like the more expensive cameras can.It only uses AS lenses. This may be a temporary problem, but I think is's a minor one. I have the 18-55mm and will soon add the 55-200mm. If I want a longer lens, I have to use manual focus until longer AS lenses are produced. In my case, If I need longer than 200mm (equivalent to 300mm in 35 film cameras), I'm shooting long distances anyway, so I'll focus on the hyperfocal distance and have everything from 20-30 ft to infinity in focus (depending on focal length and f/stop).If I could afford twice the price, I'd probably spend it. As it is, this is one of best values on the market today.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2 Years Old and I Still Love My D40x
*by T***Y on January 9, 2010*

I have had my Nikon D40x for two years now and love it just as much as I did the day I bought it.In the ensuing two years I've learned a few things about this camera and photography which I will share.-I did a lot of research before deciding on this camera. Most of all I am so glad that I chose a DSLR--especially this DSLR over a Point and Shoot digital. The additional weight/size is well worth the quality you get.-Of all the photo settings, I would say that 80% of my photos are taken in full auto mode. The other modes that I use regularly but less often are the aperature priority, and macro modes. Unless you're taking photos of subjects that don't move, then I recommend the auto mode because the photo will be "gone" if you're busy fiddling with the controls.-I take a lot of photos of my young nieces, and having no shutter lag lets me have "What you see is what you get" photos.-This camera will improve your photography, but the bottom line is that unless you have a good eye, no camera is going to give you great shots.-After owning my D40x for a year I invested in the Nikon sb400 flash. The increased power/range and the ability to bounce the flash improved flash photos with the D40x by 100% over the quality of the photos with just the built-in flash. Flash photos look so even and natural, and there's never red-eye.-I use the 18-55 mm lens far more than the 55-200 mm lens.-The only thing I don't like all of the time is the function of the autofocus. Sometimes it "misses," and I think that this is because there are only 3 focal points.-I take all of my photos in "fine" mode. This gives me the freedom of enlarging and or cropping later, without sacrificing quality. I use a 2 gb SDHC card, and have never "run out" of space in a day's shooting. I have not traveled much with this camera, but if I did and was "on the road," I would use a card with larger capacity.-10.2 MP is more than enough--the lens optics are far more important, and Nikon makes fantastic lenses.-Occasionally shooting at ISO 1600 isn't high enough, and I wish this camera had an ISO of 3200. Mostly, it's not an issue except in low light situations with no flash.I hope this retrospective review is helpful to your purchasing decision.
