Summary: Excellent Digital SLR Camera Kit
Comment: Have been very happy with this camera kit. Nice to have the flexibility of the extra zoom lens. Didn't use the provided photo management computer program as we use Adobe Photoshop Elements 6. Hard to beat the price offered by this seller for the camera body and two lenses! Quick shipping to boot! Thanks much.

Summary: We love this camera
Comment: Others with more experience and knowledge have provided great information in their reviews.

I only wish to say that this is our first SLR in many years and we debated between this and the D80 and decided, with some trepidation, the D40X was the right choice. After two months using it, we are very happy with the camera. It is fast (no noticeable lag when pressing the shutter) and takes great pictures. We were surprised that you cant use the LCD for framing pictures (I guess that is true for all SLRs?) so it took us some time to get used to using the view finder, but we are happy with that too.

Nikon just came out with the D60 which is about a hundred and twenty dollars more. It has some advanced sensor cleaning technology and updated software but I think we still would go with the D40X since these don't seem worth the price. The sensor cleaning is probably only worth it if you change lenses a lot (we only have the one) and thus expose the sensor. We could have returned the D40X (the D60 was announced within our return period) but we decided to keep it.

In summary, a great camera for those making the jump from point and shoot to SLR.

Summary: great camera for amateur for reasonable price
Comment: This is my first SLR camera. I like it very much. Is quick, make perfect pictures. Much better than hybrid I had before.
I like "idiot" programs, because I dont care about time, or other properities.
One fault is that camera doesnt have an engine so many of nikkor lenses are useless.
If You want to have bigger choice, better take D80.

Summary: Great camera
Comment: We really love this camera. It takes great pictures and there are a lot of options from point and shoot to completely manual. It is big and a lot to carry, but for this type of camera, it's what you'd expect.
