Nikon D40x 10.2MP Digital SLR
The Nikon 40DX, targeted as the first pro-amateur's DSLR choice, was launched barely 4 months after its predecessor, the Nikon 40. These are the most compact, lightweight (and on the pockets too) and fun to use among Nikon's digital SLR range of cameras.
This model is competitively aimed and priced at the Canon EOS 400D (Digital Rebel XTi).
