The Nikon D40X camera is light but not too light, and its controls are
perfectly placed. It also gives you the overall
impression that it’s going to back you up if you do something stupid.
For example, its auto ISO setting will reach into its higher numbers,
pushing the light through to help you out in a dark situation. Its body fits perfectly in your grip, and the menu buttons are right where they need to be, along
with the dial for automatic exposure, manual control and tons of
programmed auto exposure routines. http://www.dpreview.com/news/0703/07030602nikond40x.asp
