Nikon D40X

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


 All told, it transpires that the Nikon D40X is an excellent camera when it comes to performance, even though it may not have the snappiest features that are available in other budget D-SLRs today. Considering that its price with bill and warranty is somewhere around Rs. 35,000, it's an excellent deal to start off with, or to gift to someone who's just venturing into D-SLRs and is starting from scratch. It has everything an amateur needs to learn and move on to bigger and better things, and also offers picture quality that's good enough to keep a prosumer happy for a long time. But if you're looking at upgrading from your older D-SLR, you should probably consider its bigger brother – the Nikon D80.
