Nikon D40x, 10.2MP $799 w/18-55mm

[NFS4]

Pre-PMA 2007: Just under four months since the D40 and Nikon has announced an upgraded ten megapixel version of the camera. The new Nikon D40X is essentially identical to the D40 apart from its ten megapixel CCD, a lower base sensitivity of ISO 100 and faster continuous shooting (now up to 3.0 fps). Obviously the competitive target for this camera is the Canon EOS 400D (Digital Rebel XTi), and it is clearly priced to achieve that at $799 including the 18-55 mm kit lens.

Meh.

Olympus is going to release some yummy stuff. 14-35mm f/2. Bring it on.

3 AF points. Ya, 1997 all over again.

I paid $649 for my XTi complete ....less than this D40x

That's nice and all, but what's the MSRP for the XTi that you bought? You can't compare MSRP of a new camera to what you paid after discounts/coupons.

Granted, I think that the D40x is junk anyway. I'm sticking with my 2+ year old D70

Where did you manage to find a deal like that?

I'd rather have the XTi for that price for 150 bucks more than the d50 I was looking at.
