SLR mommies?
I know I should do a search, but I'm feeling lazy. What is the difference between a Nikon 40 and 40X? Does anyone think it's worth it to get the more expensive one? Why/why not? I'm finally getting my birthday present (only 3 months late.)

I have the Nikon D40 and I love it. I *think* the D40x is good if you want to blow up pictures.

More megapixels?
I think its 10 opposed the 6 for D40. I also have that one.

Re: SLR mommies?
This is what I found that smdl posted on another thread where this was asked.
"So what's new with the D40x, which costs just under $200 more than its predecessor?
More resolution: the D40 had a 6.1MP sensor, while the D40x has a 10.2MP sensor
A faster burst rate: from 2.5 fps on the D40 to 3 fps on the D40x
New ISO starting point: the D40 started at ISO 200, the D40x starts at ISO 100
Slower external flash sync speed (1/200 vs 1/500 sec)
10% improvement in battery life"
HTH.

Thank you!  DD was up extra early today so I'm feeling more lazy than usual. So thanks for searching for me.

Yup! Exactly what they told us when we asked.
