 Good potential but this design may be flawed., December 30, 2008

Right after 1 year the built-in flash on my D40x broke. Oddly, built-in flashes on other cameras I own, such as a 5-10 year old Sony still work fine. After some research I see all kinds of people are now having D40x built-in flash failure. Whether this is an engineering issue or a build issue I'm not sure, but this experience is burning me. This is my first ever DSLR. I paid a lot for it based on my total budget and even sprung for a Sigma 10-20 wide lens. My local camera store is looking at the possibility that this "discontinued" D40x is poorly engineered but otherwise I would have to pay to repair this investment. If I thought this camera was going to brake this fast I would not have purchased it. I do love the camera but its noteworthy that they are breaking after 1 year. Nikon needs to know about this.

 Great Digital SLR, December 16, 2008

I purchased this camera for myself last year. I had hinted to santa that this was what I wanted for Christmas. Christmas came and went with no camera under the tree. So, I took advantage of a good deal at Amazon and purchased the D40x kit and also the 55-200mm VR lens. A year later and I'm still pleased with my purchase. I'm still learning how to use it, having fun and taking some great pictures.

My first digital SLR, November 14, 2008

I took a while converting from film to digital. My first two digital cameras (back around 2000) were sold within a week of purchase. Somewhere around 2004, I bought my first point-and-shoot digital camera, and it was good enough to keep. I have upgraded one or two times, but finally had to get an SLR.
So you're reading the advice of a hobbyist, a casual taker of pictures, not by any means a pro or even a knowledgeable amateur. And my comment basically amounts to one thing: the picture quality just blew me away. It's not just a question of megapixels, either: as many have pointed out, the most important actor is probably the glass (lens).
But to the original point again: the picture quality from this camera is fabulous. After a year of using it, I am starting to get the urge to own a D300, but I am also thinking about upgrading the lenses.
Still, in my opinion, this camera doesn't need an upgrade. I could use it happily for the next two decades. It's great!!

Fantastic camera for the price. Amatuer and pros alike will find useful., October 9, 2008

Fantastic small form factor in a surprisingly high-quality image. Have been using this camera for travel assignments and on-the-go when I need to spend a lot of time wandering around, and is an excellent light-weight and inconspicuous body. Still works with many Nikon lenses, though you'll need to manual focus with some of them.
Highly recommended, I plan on using this till 2012. A++
