:) Just got a D40x for £290 brand new (if you include the £60 cashback from Nikon). Good deal do you think? I am impressed that it's really easy to use. Menu system is very similar to my old HP Photosmart 940 (now I know which manufacturer they copied from). I'm liking the build quality but still getting to grips with it. Can't wait to take it on holiday next week!

Is that with the Kit lens? If so, then yes that s avery good price. I got mine for £320 just after it came out due to a mistake, and that was a very good price. Its a great little camera. there are a few missing features etc, but for the price it certainly can produce come great shots. And as you say, its very easy to pick up the controls. :)
 
yeah it's the kit with the lens. Mine was cheap because a certain well known retailer gave me the X instead of the D40!!! :eek:
 
Yeah that is a good price. I bought at the weekend and got it for £320 inc £60 cach back. Just waiting delivery now. :)

Hehe, they did exactly the same with me. I would hate the be the person who realises that they have sold god knows how many D40Xs instead of D40s. Maybe if they trained their staff a little, then they wouldn't have this problem.
 
nice one.
going to get the D40 tommorrow i think - only real difference is the 6mp to 10mp with the x version.

If i can get the x for the same price all the better!!!

Absolute ideots! They don't even advertise them properly since they state in the display they were showing that the D40 is a 10megapixel camera. wtf? If they had sold me the correct one then I could have gone back and demanded the X version anyway since they were misrepresenting the D40!!! :p
