aku tengah konpius sangat2 ni...dah decide nak bli dslr..sekarang ni plak dok pikir D40 ke D40X. aku pi sembang ngn cine kedai key color dok tanya2 dia kata baik bli aje D40 dari D40X. aku tak kisah pasal harga. cuma cine tu kate nikon just upgrade pixel D40X tu aje untuk up harga. padahal sesetengah ganbar D40 lagi lawa dari D40X. and dia kata takat nak print besar pakai D40 pun okeh...so, ape pendapat otai2 kat sini????

nell,

Ni pendapat kahmadz lepas pakai D40X after 1 month and after shoot almost 1000+ pics..

D40X ade a few Xtra specs - eg. Xtra Megapixel (10.2 vs 6.2), Xtra frames per second (3 vs 2.5), Lowest ISO (100 vs 200), dpreview kate
ade better noise level vs D40.

BTW, kalau u x kisah sume ni...and (most amatuer DSLR beginner mmg x kisah and x perlu pun)... just take a D40 the Xtra RM400-500 buy a SB400 speedlight or speedlight yg lebih besar SB600....

Focus your budget on lens and speedlight (flash) thats better...itu kalau u plan nak beli lens lain and tambah speedlight lah...

kalau tak de plan camtuh ambik jer D40X tuh...x nyesal punye lah...

Pasal limited lense yg capable to Aotufokus dgn D40/40X ni ni ada SIGMA lense punya list:

Nikon D40 and D40x Compatible lenses

The New Nikon D40 and D40x are the first Nikon body without a built in auto focus motor. This means that the any lens used with the D40 and D40x will need the auto focus motor built into the lens. These lenses are called AFS lenses. Sigma has a large line of compatible AFS type lenses. Most of these lenses have the HSM motor in them with the Exception of the 80-400mm f4.5-5.6 EX DG OS (optically stabilized).

The following lenses are fully compatible with the Nikon D40 and D40X:

1. 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM (produk baru)
2. 18-50mm f2.8 EX DC HSM (produk baru)
3. 17-70mm f2.8-4.5 DC HSM (produk baru)
4. 18-50mm f3.5-5.6 DC HSM (produk baru)
5. 55-200mm f4-5.6 DC HSM (produk baru)
6. 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM
7. 12-24mm F4.5-5.6
8. 17-35mm F2.8-4 DG

Untuk TAMRON plak blum ada Autofous dgn D40/40X hanya bleh MANUAL fokus je..

Notice of Compatibility of Tamron's Interchangeable Lens
for Nikon Mount with Nikon D40 Camera

Please be noted that our current interchangeable lenses for the Nikon AF cameras do not function in the AF mode when attached to the newly developed Nikon D40 camera since our Nikon AF lenses do not have built-in AF motor. So in case our lenses are attached to the Nikon D40 camera, please use in MF mode.

Untuk Nikon lens pulak

Nikkor Lenses that AF on the D40/D40X

Nikkor AF-S DX Lenses

1. Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED AF-S DX (an ultra wideangle lens that’s a firm favorite with landscape photographers and those who like shooting wide) - $910
2. Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF-S DX (one of the most desirable among Nikon’s professional lenses, aided by a very handy, constant f/2.8 aperture which makes it suitable for events and photojournalism; it’s been reported though, that the Nikkor 18-55mm is equally sharp, if not sharper, for landscapes when stopped down at the wide end) - $1200
3. Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED AF-S DX (this is Version 1 of the kit lens that was bundled with the Nikon D50 camera)
4. Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX (this is Version 2 of the kit lens that comes bundled with your Nikon D40 camera)
5. Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED AF-S DX (this was the kit lens that came bundled with the Nikon D70 / D70s camera - some owners decide to sell of their D40 kit lens in favor of owning this piece of glass which is of much better construction (only slightly better than the 18-135mm below) and has a slightly wider zoom range at the long end) - $350
6. Nikkor 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S DX (some owners sell of the kit lens on eBay or elsewhere, and then purchase this lens for its greater zoom range and better construction) - $330
Here’s a little story on the 18-135mm lens - a D40 owner sold off the bundled 18-55m kit lens for $150 on eBay, and got himself an 18-135mm, which he found to have better autofocusing performance than the kit lens.
7. Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S DX VR (currently the most highly sought-after zoom lens, this one has it all; it even comes with the latest VR II technology - you give up a bit of optical quality (compared to the 18-70mm and 18-135mm lenses) in exchange for VR plus a huge zoom range that’s unrivaled by any other lens brand on the market) - $750
8. Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED AF-S DX (this is Version 1 of the lens, and boasts superb sharpness and very decent bokeh; at 200mm, images captured with it are much sharper than what you’d get from the 18-200mm VR lens) - $170
9. Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED AF-S VR (simultaneously introduced with the D40x, this is Version 2 of the lens, and has definite improvements in the form of internal focusing and most importantly, VR - no other lens of any brand on the market offers image stabilization at this price point; it continues with the tradition of superb sharpness and very nice bokeh) - the expected price is $250

Nikkor AF-S Zoom Lenses

From this point forward, the listed lenses will work nicely on film bodies as well as the digital ones.
10. Nikkor 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S VR (not known for its sharpness, but has a pretty decent zoom range, and has VR) - $515
11. Nikkor 28-70mm f/2.8D IF-ED AF-S (used by those wanting professional results, and has the advantage of a constant f/2.8 aperture; it’s a huge lens, though, and has been nicknamed ‘The Beast’) - $1435
12. Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF-S VR (highly popular professional-grade telephoto zoom lens with constant f/2.8 aperture for those who demand it) - $1590
13. Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S VR (Nikon’s new consumer zoom lens boasting excellent picture quality and endowed with the new VR II image stabilization technology) - $500
14. Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G IF-ED AF-S VR (great lens for wildlife photography - I don’t foresee many Nikon D40 owners purchasing this extremely expensive lens, but no one can stop you if you want one) - $5100

AF-S Micro / Macro Nikkor Lens

There’s only one worth mentioning here, since it’s the only one that will AF on the D40, and that’s the new 15. Nikkor105mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF-S VR, the only micro lens on the market that has image stabilization, which makes it suitable for other applications such as portraiture or studio photography - $800. See pictures of the Nikon 105mm VR lens mounted on the D40 here and here.

Nikkor Fixed Telephoto AF-S Lenses

Lenses listed here are guaranteed to rip your wallet apart. Buy these if you’re into birding or wildlife photography. They are also commonly used in conjunction with teleconverters, close-up filters or extension tubes to give dramatic results with closeup photography or to extend their reach and can also be used alone for stunning portraiture with the background nicely blurred and thrown totally out of focus.
16. Nikkor 200mm f/2G IF-ED AF-S VR (it’s been dubbed the (hyper-expensive) King of Bokeh, and is loved by its owners) - $4000
Has there been anyone “crazy” enough to mount this massive lens on the D40 and grab great pictures with it? Why … YES!
17. Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF-S VR (some of the best bird photos have been shot with this lens) - $4500
18. Nikkor 300mm f/4D IF-ED AF-S (nice optic for those who couldn’t spring for the f/2.8 version, no vibration reduction available) - $1125
19. Nikkor 400mm f/2.8D IF-ED II AF-S (great for birding and wildlife photography, but without the benefit of image stabilization) - $7300
20. Nikkor 500mm f/4D IF-ED II (even longer reach for birding and wildlife photos, no VR and, owing to its smaller f/4 aperture, cannot AF with some teleconverters compared with the 400mm f/2.8 lens - be sure to check the specifications) - $7200
21. Nikkor 600mm f/4D IF-ED II (longest reach of all Nikon lenses, has no VR and, like the 500mm lens, cannot AF with some teleconverters) - $9080

AF Teleconverters

All the three AF-S TC lenses below allow AF as long as they’re used in tandem with AF-S lenses that are specified as capable of autofocusing with them. Take extra care to read the lens compatibility notes in the spec section of each TC - for instance, none of them are compatible with Nikkor DX lenses.
AF-S Teleconverter TC-14E II - $410
AF-S Teleconverter TC-17E II - $420
AF-S Teleconverter TC-20E II - $430
