Very good photo quality, though see issues below Solid construction; feels better in the hand than the competition ...Images are overly saturated and a bit soft at default settings, in this reviewer's opinion ...Playback folder (Current, all) - that first option shows only the images created by the D40x...The jury's still out on the D40x's...

Nikon D40x: Review
High-performance digital SLR- 3FPS with shutter speeds up to 1/4000 sec...There are no cons for this product...So if you are looking for a high-performance, high-quality compact D-SLR, then consider the Nikon D40x...The Nikon D40x features the capabilities of most other digital SLR cameras, but what makes this model so special is its high-performance Nikon DX format...

Nikon D40x Review - PhotographyBLOG
When you first take the Nikon D40x out of its box, you can literally feel why this digital SLR is so cheap...The D40x is definitely designed for "normal" hands, and this helps to negate that initial feeling of the camera being too light and plasticky...Despite being aimed at the new digital SLR owner, the D40x is still a fairly complex camera in terms of functionality...

Nikon D40x review | from TechRadar's expert reviews of Digital SLRs/Hybrids
Excellent JPEG quality...Too expensive Convoluted controls...The Nikon D40x is neither an upgrade for the 6-megapixel D40 model, nor a replacement for the D80...Examine the D40x and the only obvious difference between it and the D40 is the increased sensor resolution...In most other respects, the D40x performs very well and feels good......
