Nikon D40x review

What does the r11 button mean on my nikon d40x camera?
I have a Nikon D40x. In the viewfinder at the bottom of the screen it has [r11] message appearing. I don't know if it is an error message for lighting. It doesn't also let me actually take the picture. What is up with that? I'm confused and the manual doesn't explain it. Help!
The little "r" number lets you know how many more photos you can take in a row before you have to let the camera catch up, writing image files to your memory card that have been placed in the cameras buffer.
My old D100's buffer is so small, the highest "r" on it is 3.
You can watch it work by shooting as fast as you can and watch the "r" number get smaller and smaller until it reaches 0. You will see how it all works.
What is the difference between the Nikon D40 and the D40x?
The Nikon D40 is $200 less expensive. I have tested the D40x out, and absolutely loved the picture quality. What exactly is the difference between the two?
The D40x is a camera designed at the mostly unadvised consumer market. Although most people will not notice, it's flash sync speed (important for capturing images in harshly contrasting light) is significantly lower (1/500 of a second versus 1/250 of a second). Also, the higher MP (and therefore more crammed) sensor takes a toll on the camera's light processing quality: while the "range of ISO" is supposedly larger, the smallest ISO value is 100, meaning that the camera has less base sensitivity to light. In layman's terms, this means that you either have to choose between the same noise performance or the same light performance as the D40, but not both. The FPS difference is negligible. As the owner of the non-x version, I'd say that the extra 200 dollars should go to a nice point and shoot back up or perhaps some camera accessories (lenses, flashes, etc.). If you want a good camera with more MP and better over-all performance than the D40, you will probably have to move up to the more expensive D80.
Also, there have been some very good D40 deals going around recently - multiple batteries and an additional 55-200mm along with the kit for less than the D40x would cost if it came without the basic lens.
You can compare the two at:
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras=nikon_d40%2Cnikon_d40x&show=all
Both are very good cameras. You can't go wrong with either one. The advantage to the D40 is the cheaper price and smaller image foot print. If you don't print anything larger than 12"x18", then the D40 will be fine.
Good luck!
Can anyone recommend a good telescope to purchase and use along with my Nikon D40x digital slr camera?
I recently used my Nikon D40x digital slr camera to take some photos of the full moon with a 200mm telephoto. After that experience, I am interested in purchasing a telescope that I can use along with my Nikon D40x to take even better photos of the moon and other night sky bodies. Can anyone recommend a good telescope that would be good for this purpose. I would prefer to spend well under $1000 for any telescope and gear. Thanks.
Sorry I'm not much help but you can check out your options at www.bhphotovideo.com
You want a reputable brand such as Meade, Orion, Celestron, Takahashi, TeleVue, TEC and the likes. The telescope must have a stable mount and have tracking abilities. Goto isn't needed though.
An equatorial mount is preferred for astrophotography but many Schmidt Cassegrains come standard on fork mounts. This is fine if you buy a wedge and a field de-rotator.
Most people are very well suited with 8" Schmidt Cassegrains. You can buy these used for under $1000, often with accessories, on places like http://www.astromart.com and http://www.cloudynights.com
You can try eBay as well.
What life is there after the Nikon D40x?
In the next week or so, I have been planning to purchase the Nikon D40x. However, in my researches, I have been reading that Nikon has stopped production of the D40x, as of December 2007.
I was wondering if anyone knows what is to come next? Should I continue on my road of purchasing the D40x, or wait to see what comes next?
I don't have specific information about the D40x, but I wouldn't buy any camera that had stopped production without a serious discount, like 1/3 off.
Plus the D40x has never been that popular. The D40 does everything that it can do, for much cheaper.
What is the Maximum size SDHC Memory Card a Nikon D40X can take?
I have ordered a D40X and want to make sure to buy a memory card that is big enough and also compatible (more importantly).
Thanks for your help!
the highest capacity SDHC card is 16GB, so that's the most the Nikon D40X can take
edit:
the highest is actually 32gb. I'm guessing they will be very expensive when they come out.

any size SDHC card will work on a camera that can use SDHC cards
Where can I buy a Nikon d40x on installment in the Philippines?
I'm just in college so I have a bit of a tight budget. Is there anyone offering d40x's with warranty and accept payment on installment? I'm looking for a cheaper offer than 37k+ for 6 mos.
Try INFOMAX in Megamall.
What are the differences between the Nikon D40 and the Nikon D40X?
I am going to buy a Nikon camera, but I'm torn between purchasing the Nikon D40 or the Nikon D40X. I know that the D40X is $200 dollars more than the D40. Is it worth it? What are the other differences? If possible, please show your source.
For the extra money, the D40x gives you:
10 MP sensor (vs 6 MP)
100 ISO lowest sensitivity (vs 200 ISO)
1/500 second flash synchronization (vs 1/200 second)
In my opinion, for a new photographer, the D40x is not worth the extra money. That extra $200 is far better spend towards a second lens.

How do you get a longer exposure on a Nikon D40x?
I know that the d40x allows up to 30 seconds maximum for an exposure. However, i was wondering how to get a much longer exposure, for example, maybe about a 3 minute exposure for a night landscape shot? How would i go about getting that longer exposure time? thanks.
Mount your camera on a tripod, put it in Manual Mode and select "B" on your shutter speed. You'll be abe to hold the shutter open as long as you want.
You'd be surprised at what you could learn about your camera if you would READ & STUDY the Owner's Manual for it.
What is the diffrence between the nikon d40 and the nikon d40x?
What is the difference between the Nikon d40 and the Nikon d40x? What is the best Nixon srl camera out there? Where can i find one really cheap
As stated above, 6mp vs 10mp, and that's about it.
To quote Ken Rockwell:
"The D40x was announced March 5, 2007. It's the same as the D40 with a few more pixels (the sensor comes from the D80), a slightly faster frame rate, a much slower maximum flash shutter speed (sync) and a whopping 33% price increase."

The difference in price will get you another lens and 6mp can give you excellent images.
Here's some photos from a D40:

Just choose subjects that interest you in the "now showing" subject box to compare results from both cameras.
Can the Nikon D40x use all the kinds of lenses? If not, is this a very big problem? How does it work?
Im planning on buying a Nikon dslr in Hong Kong and Im confused between the D80 and the d40x. Ive heard that both of them has pretty much the same features except the lens problem. HELP
The D80 will work with just about any Nikon lens made since 1959 ... Manual focus lenses in manual mode of course.
The D40(x) will use any Nikon AF-I or AF-S made in the past 15 years.
That in a nutshell is the lens compatibility situation.
