"awesome camera"
Pros: ease of use; spectacular image quality; good 'feel'; great LCD screen
Cons: nothing major of note yet
Summary: For the past 10 years i have been using point & shoot digital cameras - mostly Canon. Decided to take the plunge into something a little more challenging. After much research and testing, ended up buying the D40x - basically the same camera as the much heralded D40, just 10 megapixels vs. 6 megapixels. For someone unfamiliar with SLR's, this camera was amazingly easy to use - straight out of the box. Just charge the battery, snap on the lens and start shooting. So far the default AUTO settings have been great, and after about 1000 photos I have yet to take a bad one. The camera is just that good. And it's one of those things that offers a lot more user interaction when and if you are ready to fiddle with the settings. The camera has a great flash - no more washed out pics, red-eye has been non-existent, even inside under adverse and poor lighting conditions. I've enlarged some portraits and landscapes to 16" x 20" and the quality is just stunning. Very highly recommended!!!
