i got it at enata photo in subang parade.

the lens is branded as sony 52mm UV lens... but the packaging does not look like ori sony to me as i have sony P&S digicam.


tripos is those filmsy... brand also capalang.. just a silver sticker on the tripod leg.

the bag is some not famous 'outdoor' brand...

Don't despair. Unless you like to crop your pix a lot or have to print them at above A3 sizes, 6MP resolution is adequate. 6MP compared to 8MP is just roughly a 15% improvement in resolution (SQRT(8/6)).

Ok then. 29% increase in resolving power, assuming all other shooting conditions and hardware is optimum.

Just look at the price. D40x is definitely not a replacement for the D40. It's to fill the gap in their product line, and compete directly with the rebel xti.

I doubt it. Why would there be? Again, D40x is at a higher price point, USD799 msrp vs USD599 msrp for D40.

Thinking of getting the D40 myself, but I'd have liked to have the option of getting it with the 18-135mm lens and not the 18-55mm kit lens

4mp but again i would spend an extra 200usd for that. iso 100 is tempting but again i dont think all the added features would be worth 200usd. if only they added a built in motor...
