That was a lot faster review than the D300

Given that they could copy and paste half of the D40x review into this one, I'm not terribly surprised.

Does not seem like a lot of d40 users are going to upgrade,
it would be more like side grade. Although there is that cool metal
disc on the command dial.

[Rooz]

not sure it was every aimed at d40 users though

[rawpaw18]

Sarcastic mate, its certainly not aimed at current users. Looks like a great entry level dslr though.

Could they not add a couple of more focus points, I do not understand why cameras do not have focus points at the rule of thirds intersections plus center.

Yeah, that's one aspect that perhaps was dummied down a little too much.

[Visual Reality]

Way too expensive.

Just get a D80.

Yea, it does seem pricey for an entry level. The D40X was about $200 cheaper than the D60. The D80 costs about the same now, but you don't get the VR lens. Does Nikkon sell the 18-55mm VR lens separately? If so, what is the MSRP?

[Visual Reality]

Around $180.

And the D80 is sold in a kit with the 18-55 VR lens for $859 now.

What about this http://www.us1photo.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=5529 ;)
I think the price for the KIT is great deal !

Are you sure ? The price of D40X (body) in its last days was exactly 100$ lower that the actual price of the D60 body. But the difference for the KITs is only about 65$ at the moment provided that you get VR lens ...

The extra $130 for the D80 is worth it. It's a significantly better body.
