I am a Nikon and Nikon have had since the 70s, I personally think that the Nikon D40 give you more for the dollar than any DSLR today. There are some who do more, but paid much more. Do not let the lower megapixels concern if you do very very large prints you will never notice the bottom of the DSLR. My brother recently needs a DSLR for a class and I recommended the D40 to him, so I say get the D40 not the D40X. The Nikon D40 does not have limited functions compared with entry DSLR. If you are under the body functions of 1500 camera dollars would. There is aa cut its version less than most level digital SLR input. People try to get hung up on the lower megapixels. Unless you are actually doing really big prints, you will not realize from the bottom of the MP. Megapixels have become the driving bass drum in the marketing of the camera. Yes they have a place in the picture quality but the size sensor, sensor quality and image processing engine and software are much or more a part of what allows a camera to give a good image. You may want to http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/mpmyth.htm read here I have a D300 and D40 and when I shot for fun to record the D40. His weight, a joy to use and provides well if you have a little more money the D60 give a number of things you want. It has a new firmware and image processors, designed for sensor 10 MP. Dust has an "asset reduction system to control airflow. Nikon not putting a system on the D40 to deal with dust is one of the biggest drawbacks I see the D40 (though I think its still a great camera for the money) If you change lenses dust will get in and the camera needs a system to deal with it. With the D60 you get a VR lens. That will help with low light (which may offer that now with the D40, but originally was not). The D60 has Adaptive Dynamic Range. Nikon calls D-Lighting, which allows you to save a few highlights that my opponent will lose. It has a new measuring system than the D40. So you can not get the D40 and D40 x spend the money on other lenses or a flash Some people want to make a big issue of the fact that there are some Nikon lenses not autofocusing of these cameras. Right now there is "only" about 39 lenses that autofocus on these cameras. Covering the range of focal lengths. I doubt that any photographer would be seriously limited with "only" this many targets to choose from. If you're focusing manually you can more than double this and do this at low cost. Manual focusing is easy and how we did things for decades before the advent of autofocus. Cannon and Nikon decided to reduce vibration in the lens and not the body. Somefolks put in the camera and doing that. If that means you get stabilization only on lenses that have built in the body in theory, would work on each lens. But in fact stbilization image in the lens has proved to work faster and smoother, with less impact on stroke care image stabilization in the body in the closure of all major manyfactures make good cameras. With Nikon and Canon with the largest market share. Most photographers are loyal to what I use and like it. Go to stores to get in hand and find what you want. What fits your hand well, which has the features you want in an easy to use hope this helps
