Bringing Mars Rover Technology to Earth. Nikon D40x Review. Less than four months after introducing their entry-level D40 digital SLR, Nikon released a fancier version, known as the D40x.
I think it's safe to assume that a lot of D40 owners weren't entirely pleased with this news! The original D40 brought ease-of-use and a comfortable compact body to the D-SLR world, and it was a welcome development. It offered a solid design, great photo quality, a very user-friendly menu system, and the kind of performance that you'd expect from a digital SLR. Naturally, some features were "stripped" to keep the price down, most notably the lack of a built-in focus motor, which meant that older lenses were manual focus only.
Still, the pros outnumbered the cons, and the D40 earned an easy recommendation. So what's new with the D40x, which costs just under $200 more than its predecessor? Not bad upgrades if I do say so myself. Okay, less ranting, more reviewing. Since the cameras are 95% identical, most of this review will be the same as the one for the D40. Ken Rockwell. Nikon D7000 Review. Time for the rubber to meet the road (okay, the photons to meet the electronics).
Since so many things have changed internally from the D90 there must be some differences, right? You bet your sweet bippy there are. Battery Life New battery, new performance figures. Fortunately, good performance figures. The D7000 with the EN-EL15 will outshoot and outlast a D90 with the EN-EL3e. The one drawback to the new battery system is that it isn't exactly a fast charging system.
Writing to Card I'm still trying to get a full handle on card performance in the D7000. Raw shooters will not be terribly happy with the buffer size. Autofocus System Surprise, surprise. Mirror up, well, that's another story. Metering System Another surprise. I've noticed a bit of chatter on the net about "overexposure. " The corollary is that if you pop up the flash for some fill, the D7000 seems to get that exposure just a little more on target than previous consumer cameras.
However, all isn't perfect. /chillax. Photography Tips & Tutorials.
