Many professional camera review sites comment that owners of D40 shouldn’t feel bad about the D40X, and I most definitely agree! D40 is currently has one of the cheapest MSRP for a DSLR, and it is totally aimed for people who are new to DSLR. The only (major) difference between D40 and D40X is the number of megapixels. People should be warned that megapixels do not relate to picture quality. In fact, non-DSLR cameras with lower megapixel often takes better picture than the one with more. Also, 6 megapixel is more than enough to keep average people satisfied (and many times, its too large anyway). If you read many professional reviews about D40, it has an amazing picture quality, as well low noise level that is comparable to Canon Rebel XTi! So when D40X comes out, I’d rather suggest that people get D40 cause the price will go down. And if you think D40 is underpowered, then you shouldn’t be even looking at this camera since this is aimed towards prosumers, not professionals.

This is a great and very thorough write-up! I hadn’t browsed a Mouser catalog since I was in tech school, but this really piques my interest. Good job!
