Nikon D40: Ups their game!

Price: 600 w/18-55mm lens

Nikon steps it up a level with introducing the D40x. The original D40 was the baby camera to the D80 (reviewed below), But it was feeling a little left out to it's rivals only having 6 mega pixels, whilst the others had anything up to 10 mega pixels.

Now the D40x has upped to 10 mp to get one over on it's rivals. Coming in cheaper than the Canon EOS 400D (reviewed below), it's sure to turn some heads when it's released on the 22nd March, just over a week away.

But we must feel sorry for those people who bought the D40, and now wishing they'd held out a little longer for the D40x to surface. Although it does cost 500 for the original with two lenses and 600 for the new model but with only one lens. Bit of a price difference but your budget can only decide which one to go for.

In a nutshell, I'd pay that little extra for the D40x to take advantage of the stronger sensor or any other touching up Nikon has made. But most of all to show Canon users just what Nikon can pull out of it's hat, and laugh at them as your camera was cheaper, and would be more than happy to match the spec of the Canon.
