Nikon D40x and Nikon D60 slightly downgraded versions of the D40, but with more pixels and a higher price. I prefer my D40 over the D40x and D60, even for the same price, and since the D40 costs less. The D40 does not meter with manual lenses, but you always can guess and look at the playback on the LCD.
I prefer my D40 to heavier cameras because I prefer the rear-LCD only display over my older cameras' film-era split displays on the top and back of the camera. Why should I move my head to look two places when I can have it all right in front of me on my D40? My D40 has about double the battery life of my D200, so I never need to buy or carry a spare battery, even to make 750 shots in a day or more.Want to see what I've been shooting with my D40? See my Photo. most of which I shoot every day with my D40. My D40 and its included lens is the best camera of which I know for people and family photography.
D40 is that it's so light. We thought it would be much heavier, but no! It must be made of air. It's like not having a camera with you at all.
If you're good, you can blow up the images from the D40 without limit. I've made great 20x30" prints from my D40. More pixels doesn't help: holding the camera still does. Your skill as a photographer is more important than your choice of camera.
The second obvious is the big, bright, sharp, contrasty and almost three-dimensional LCD screen. It looks the same regardless of the angle from which you view it. It's the same vivid, accurate screen as on D80, which I think is the same thing as D200.
My D40 only autofocuses with the latest AF-S lenses, and also the the older, professional, AF-I lenses.
You'll have to focus manually with traditional AF lenses, which means forget about older lenses except macros (I always focus those manually) and fisheyes and ultrawides (easy to focus).
The Nikon D40 is the D50 replacement.Source : Kenrockwell
