At the time of writing this review, just 4 months after the launch of the D40, Nikon had announced the D40x (its review to follow shortly), a 10-megapixel upgrade of this model and one designed to oust Canon’s EOS 400D from its perch. In getting to grips with the D40 (at last), it’ll still be interesting to compare the two once the D40x arrives on my desk. But at first glance, apart from the new sensor and some other internal tweaks, the D40x looks almost identical to the D40. In the mean time, the D40 features a respectable specification given its £449.99 price, significantly a price around £100 less than the D40’s predecessor, the D50 with its introductory RRP of just shy of £600.
