QUOTE(orenzai @ Nov 4 2007, 02:38 PM) I was given green light to start a version 2 thread for our beloved d40/d40x users(including me). Click here to be redirected to the V1 thread. *For your info, D40x is 99% the same as D40 The only difference is the ISO and Resolution. D40 flash sync speed is 1/500 vs D40x's 1/200 only. D40 user here by the way.

QUOTE(ChrisHor @ Dec 20 2007, 09:18 PM) Hi fellow Nikonians. Just purchase a D40 kit today with Nikon Msia warranty. After using for a few hours, found the LCD has 1-2 dead pixels. Did not notice it when purchased. Anyone has this problem before. Will Nikon service centre replace the LCD? How long does it take? Other than this problem. I very happy with it. Hope to get some advice here. TQ. Mine has one. Nikon will only replace it if the LCD has 3 or more dead pixels. I asked already.

 Reverse mounted the kit lens using BR-2A, lighting is not optimum but it's fun

QUOTE(knightrazor @ Dec 23 2007, 03:35 PM) WTA, does the small tripod can hold the d40? cos sometimes wan to place the camera low and the big tripod isn't helping. Too high.. Try using bean bag.

QUOTE(cs8281 @ Dec 24 2007, 12:09 PM) hey guys.. if i wanna snap pic for insect..more focuss... which lens should i use? and how much is it? i'm using D40x.. Do you mean macro photography? Nikkor 105mm if you can afford it. Else a cheaper way will be to do a close-up diopter or reverse mounting ring (BR-2A) with your kit lens, but you'll need to open the aperture lever manually since it's a G lens.
