New Camera | Nikon D40x
23 Apr
For several years now I have been interested in photography and wanted to purchase a DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) camera. However, many of you know that they do not come cheap. Well, I can thank Nikon for making an entry level DSLR, now I have the camera I wanted at a price the won’t bankrupt me .
For those of you familiar with Nikon, you probably guessed that I bought the Nikon d40X. The d40x is a small DSLR offering some great features for someone wanting a little more functionality that their previous point and shoot didn’t offer. In addition to being affordable, the d40x offers a 10.2 megapixel sensor.
I have owned the camera for about two weeks and really enjoy everything that it has to offer. I purchased the d40x kit for under $650 which came with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX Zoom Nikkor Lens, battery, battery charger, software, and a Nikon strap.
This is my first DSLR and it has been really easy and fun to learn. I suggest going through the manual and reading up on everything the camera offers before actually using it. I know it might be hard, but it will pay off in the long run.
Here is one of the first shots I took with the d40x. Of course my subject had to be our dog Dingo.
As I said earlier, I really enjoy this camera and look forward to taking some more fantastic pictures. I highly recommend this camera if you want freedom and functionality that your point and shoot camera does not deliver on.
