Nikon D40X

07 Sep, 2007, 5:44 pm IST | Gagan Gupta | DSLRs DSLRs

Color reproduction from the Nikon D40X was excellent. The overall camera tone was more on the natural side and the saturation levels were quite low, just the way I like it.

Sharpness and detail levels in the shots I got from the camera was as good as I expected from a camera of this caliber. Though it did wimp out slightly on the minutest details compared to the Nikon D80 or Canon EOS 400D, it's not something you will notice until you compare closely. Rest assured, amateurs and prosumers would highly appreciate the image quality.

As I mentioned before, the camera's shooting speed has improved to 3FPS, but the start-up time of .18 seconds and immediate shutdown time make it an excellent tool to have on your side when timing is of utmost importance.
