D40x!!!!!

Michael · 03-05-2007, 10:31 PM

Just under 4 months old and Nikon already introduces an upgraded version or replacement. The Nikon D40X.

There was a lot of speculation from the Nikon Camp on a new DSLR to be announced. Everyone, including me, thought that the new DSLR, or at least hoped, would be the D3. Well it seems that Ken Rockwell was right.

There are rumors that at 2am est Nikon will hit the masses with the D3. However, this is not confirmed and may not actually happen. Either way, stay up and see

It seems that Nikon is making a move to capture a mega market away from Canon. Nikon is now offering a 6 megapixel D40 and a 10.1 megapixel D40x. I am not sure if the D40x is suppose to replace the D40, but either way, Nikon has two little cameras in a sector that is not touched by Canon. One can argue that Nikon is going after the 400D. Who knows?

i dont know why ppl think the D40x is replacing the D40, it is just a higher end model that will both be sold .D40 to take on the EOS350 and the D40x to take on the EOS400D.

very smart marketing decision as i think Nikon finally realised they can only take canon in the Entry level,Mid level, and not the professional level.

I really like the concept of the D40X, was impressed by the D40 because of it's size, not too impressed by the megapixel count though, but this fixes it perfectly.

BTW, the way I see it is the D40X is equivalent to the old D50, and the D80 is equivalent to the D70s!

The D40 is like a new model fitting below all these models!

Canon is a great brand. I have never had anything against it, as many of my posts here reflect. However, I prefer Nikon because of its ergonomics and feel. Hold a D200 or D2X and see what I mean.

I would like to get the new 1Ds Mark III.

The D200 by the way is back in the shop. I am hoping that Nikon will be able to fix this problem. Apparently this time they are changing major parts. Who knows what will happen when it comes back.

About the ergonomics...

I went to a store last week and held the D80 and compared it to the 400D, and the D80 did indeed feel alot better. But with a battery grip on the 400D there isn't that much difference I think. Didn't think of exploring the button positioning at the moment though.
