nikon d40...NEW QUESTION ADDED

is it worth the money? i need a new camera mine is to slow i miss all the good moments and alot of pictures are starting to come out blurry. can you post a few pictures that were taken with the d40 so i can see?? TIA. if this isnt a good camera can you recommend one?



whats the difference between the d 40 and d40x?



ETA: dumb question but does it have a little memory card to take out? the camera i have now i just put the memory card right into my computer and upload the pictures..would this be the same??

Re: nikon d40

The MAIN difference between the D40 and the D40x was the resolution. I believe the number of image on the continuous shot mode was a bit higher too on the D40x.

The D40x is discontinued and replaced by the D60 I believe.

I have the D40x and it was worse EVERY penny.

I got the d40x a year ago when it was a lot more money, and it was the greatest thing I ever did! It takes beautiful, clear pictures! You dont realize how much better your pictures can come out until you use this camera!

My old camera could have never taken photos so crisp. I am sure as I get "better" so will my photos!

Side by Side comparison is here

The main difference is the megapixels. What does that mean to you? If you take a photo from far away & want to blow up a portion of the photo, it will be clearer than if it was taken with a lower megapixel camera.

I have a D70 with 6.1 megapixels & it works fine.

Trying to think who has a D40...it's the picture quality but the real reason you want one is there is no lag time between the time you press the shutter & the time it snaps the photo.

Have your DH try one once. I can tell you that many DHs on here were convinced to get a DSLR once they tried mine...

I have the D50 but love the D40 as well. In fact, I am hoping DH will upgrade me one of these days to the D40. I LOVE the continuous shoot and D50 doesn't have it.Chat Icon

Oh another suggestion. Check out the prices at B&H Photo. While I highly recommend them, if you can get someone else to beat their price, it's worth it!
