It has only been about four months since Nikon introduced the entry-level D40 digital SLR. But Nikon’s updating it anyway with the new D40x.
Differences:
- 6-megapixel to 10.2-megapixel
- Range of ISO setting starts at 100 instead of 200
- 2.5fps to 3fps
- 1/200 flash sync speed, down from 1/500
Looks like the slightly higher price than D40 won’t get you much of an upgrade. Forum discussions have shown that most people would rather pay a little more and get a D80 instead.
The D40x will be available next month for US$729.95 for the body only, or US$799.95 for the package including its 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S lens.
