.hello good day everyone,

i m not yet d40/d40x user . now using d50 6mp

but i m looking on buying one dis coming year end.

b4 tat , i wish some opinions from u guys.

i mainly wil use d camera to shoot family group photos during chinese new year, and print 12' x 18' size.

i wonder if d40x 10mp is as good as d80 in term of resolution / quality ?

others features r not tat important to me .
.

As good as ... i doubt. But it would give reasonable results depending on you expectations. But let a d40 owner tell you the rest.

ok.

aaah ......... i wonder if got user here having both d40 & d40x together , mayb can do me a favor......

shooting d same object by both camera , then upload d original files here , for us to share.
.

put d40 user on front page shud be nice .. just like D80 and D200 user list

i dun think so... i dun think got ppl wil buy D40 n D40X.... if after D40.. they sure will go for D80 or higher...
but i play around both since i working at FOTOKEM last time... not much different.... (but compare to 400D, D40 sure win!!! )

exactly .. unless if u one of those super rich guys ..then it woudn be no prob

me too....d40 user...

So fast got v2 already. I'n D40 user reporting here.
