Nikon has released their newest player. I will say that I haven't played with it. But, it looks as if this maybe the permanent replacement for the D-40. Its lighter that the D-40? That's what they claim. If that is the case then it would be the lightest DSLR ever produced. COOL. Heavy bad. One of the newest and seemingly nicest improvements would be the dedicated advance mode switch. (Single Frame, Continuous, Timed, or Silent). Performing this task with the D-40 is a pain in the ying-yang. Yes, it shoots video, but only 10 minutes worth and there's no external mic input. (1,920 x 1,080/23.976p). One day there will be a camera that can do it all. That day is coming, so hold on to your hats! It does supposedly allow auto focusing while shooting video in live view. If this is true then it is a first for a DSLR. 699.95 with 18-55mm.
Sounds like a nice machine, but I'll stick to my little D-40x for now. More updates later. Check out images taken with a D-40x @
