[ad#content2]

Nikon D40x

D40x

It is a very basic camera that is good for learning photography. Only advantage of this camera is the images that showing the aperture and shutter changes visualy on the LCD. If you are planning to buy a camera for long term, i advice you to pay a little bit more and buy a better camera such as Canon 400D (Rebel XTi) or Canon 450 (Rebel XSi). Because you’ll want to upgrade and change D40x as you learn more and get better in photography.
