...finds out if the new Nikon D60 is worth considering. Ease of Use When you first take the Nikon D60 out of its box, you can literally feel why this digital SLR is so cheap.

...monitor and are perfectly crisp and in-focus. The best thing about this camera is how it works in the field. I photograph mostly nature, mammals, birds, and landscapes, which means my camera has to be very durable. I've dropped it. I've used it in humid, hot, dusty conditions in Brazil.

...camera for you. The Nikon D40x is my first digital SLR and the fourth digital camera that I have owned. I'd call myself an ambitioned amateur photographer and having two small kids, we probably shoot 50-200 photos a week. I also did a fair bit of photography with older analogue cameras. To help me decide which camera to buy I read reviews on 'Steve's Digicams', Ken Rockwell's site, 'dpreview.com' and also 'Ciao.co.uk'. In the end I narrowed my ... Read review

...flash shutter speed of the Nikon D40x is 1/200 compared to 1/500 in the D40. 4) Continuous shutter speed is 2.8 fps/ instead of 3fps in the Nikon D40x. That's pretty much it. Which to go for Nikon D40 or Nikon D40x ? If you can live with 6MP which will still print perfectly good photos on A4 then go for the D40. Why? You will save a fair bit of money that you can then invest in a bigger lens. e.g. 18-135mm. You can currently save around ... Read review
