Nikon D40c Digital Slr Camera Review

With the release of the Nikon D4Oc, Nikon are trying to compete with the Canon EOS 400D and the Sony Alpha 100, as this camera comes with a 10mp resultion APS-C size sensor, along with a decent price tag.

A great feature of this camera is its ISO settings the minimum setting is of the ISO is 100 ideal for controling depth in bright light conditions. As with other Nikon cameras in the same range the D40x maintains the required and useable ISO of 3200. Another Handy little feature is the cameras continous shooting rate of 2.5 to 3 frame per seconds, perfect for camera shoots that require quick and numerous photos.

Some of the features we really liked about Nikon D40c was the peerless viewfinder image, two per cent spot-metering, coupled with the innovative sensitivity priority ISO auto option makes this a great cameras. As with all SLR digital cameras the main focus on design lies within the functionality of the camera before the ergonmics. However don’t let this fool you the ergonmics of this camera are brilliant careful thought has been taken over every little detail.

Score out of 10 - 10/9

Pros - Durable build, large lcd screen, ISO maximum 3200

Cons - auto focus limited AF-S or AF-I lenses. Menu dependant opertaion. No built in sensor cleaning
