» Nikon D40X lens question ... Last Reply: 10 months ago by BPerron.
I think the d40 is a great camera. Honestly, I would get the d40 and get the 18-200mm lens, which is a bit pricey, but you will not need many other lenses...maybe a wide or fish eye or a macro (but I have a macro and it is an older one, that I just focus manually, which is what most will do with a macro lens), depending on the type of pictures you want to take, but most would be very well off with the 18-200mm one and it is one of the best lenses that Nikon makes. I would also go with the d40 as opposed the the d40x, in order to get the extra 4 mega pixels into the d40x but in the same sized body of the d40, Nikon has had to give up sensor size in the d40x. The only reason you would need the extra mega pixels, is if you are printing huge prints, upwards of 20" then you will start to notice the difference (and that is with out any major post production). Plus the d40 is cheaper by a couple of hundred bucks so you can put that towards a lens...and the lens will make a much more dramatic effect on the quality of pictures you take over the camera. Also with the lens that you would get for the d40 it is VR (vibration reduction) much better then what other cameras that take non-auto focus lenses will offer. One other thing is that d40 and d40x, is that there LCD screens are way better then the d50 and d70, not a complete selling feature, but it is a really nice option.
