er D80 has 11 focus point versus D40x?

other i dont know too...

also the battery and the grip

for me, there is no point to get D40x.

It's either D40 or D80.

why is it so tot the D40X is > then the D40

d40 pros

compact size
light weight
cheaper
graphic GUI


d80 cons

bulkier
heavier
more expensive
no GUI

Iso 200 > Iso 100
6mp > 10mp
D40 logo > D40x logo

all for rm300+ extra

can we put in words like D80 is for the semi pro and D40 is for beginners?

But the D80 has a servo motor that would be really usefull right interms of focus speed and lens capability?

NO
D80 is not semi pro lol

yes, D40x>D40 but whats the point u pay more jsut for the extra 4MP and iso100?

It's not like the D40x got built in focus motor.

D40 iso200 is very less noise, no iso100 is ok. 10MP, u need that? For me 6MP is enough.

then its a noob camera ? jk

I notice that d40/d40x has new AF mode
MF = macro focus which d80 doesnt




all is Entry Level

I feel it is a semi pro built in entry level body..haha..

does 11 focus point knock dead 3 focus points that the D40 has?

small = cute.

depends what u gonna shoot. shoot lanscape, 1 af point enough

so far is the best among nikon entry level

Yes, summore the viewfinder focus points display is like nonac entry levels
D80 one is much nicer.

D80 is having same body size as d50

but then shooting other stuff the more AF the better is it right?

but if having a 10megapixels d40x for 2nd body
it not a bad idea

can elaborate on wats nonac?

nonac = canon

out of so many AF points, i only use 2 af points most of the time.
