Nikon has introduced its new D40x digital SLR camera, which it claims is designed to allow users to take spectacular photographs with very high-resolution at the touch of a button.
The company says that the D40x maintains the same compact size, portability, and ease-of-use as its predecessor, the D40, plus adds features like higher 10.2-megapixel resolution, faster continuous shooting capability, and wider ISO sensitivity.
Talking about the camera, Edward Fasano, General Manager of Marketing, SLR System Products, Nikon, said, "The new D40x eliminates common annoyances such as shutter lag and inaccurate viewfinders, while answering customers' needs for superb image quality, fast handling, compactness, and most important of all, simplicity. Whether people want to make poster-sized prints or make special enlargements from a smaller (cropped) area of a picture, the D40x can produce images that have superb clarity, outstanding detail, and vibrant colors."
The Nikon D40x powers-up in about 0.18 seconds, and can shoot up to 3 pictures per second, non-stop for up to 100 shots. Its 10.2-megapixel CCD imaging sensor is complimented by Nikon's exclusive 3D Color Matrix Metering II and an improved Nikon Image Processing Engine that together ensure breathtaking picture quality with analyzed exposure, refined details, and natural colors.
The D40x also features design efficiencies that allow up to 520 images per charge, and wider ISO sensitivity of 100-1600 plus HI-1.
The D40x has a 2.5-inch color LCD, a built-in help menu that can be accessed at the touch of a button, and new Assist Images that help select appropriate settings for many camera features by displaying a sample image typical of that setting.
The camera's automated, scene-optimized Digital Vari-Program modes allow users to capture nearly any type of scene without needing to understand the fine points of photography, or fumble with camera settings. It also includes eight preset modes, including a new Flash Off mode that shuts off the camera's flash and boosts its ISO so users can easily take pictures in places where flash photography is not allowed, etc.
The Aperture-priority and Shutter-priority modes offer greater creative control over the look and feel of pictures. There is also a new Retouch menu that provides exclusive in-camera image editing features.
The camera has Image Trim functionality that allows for creative cropping of an image, and creates smaller files for easy e-mailing. Other creative features include Image Overlay, Small Picture, Monochrome (Black-and-white, Sepia, and Cyanotype), and Filter Effects (Skylight, Warm filter, Color balance).
The D40x comes packaged with the new 3X 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor lens that assures superb picture sharpness and optimum contrast, along with the versatility to capture everything from candid portraits to wide-angle landscapes.
The camera is compatible with all of Nikon's AF-S and AF-I Nikkor lenses, including the 18-135mm f/3.5- 5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor lens and the new 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor lens. Besides, there is the light and ultra-compact SB-400 Speedlight for flash photography of subjects at greater distances.
Meanwhile, the D40x will be available beginning next month for a price of $729.95 (Rs 32,325) for the camera body only, and $799.95 (Rs 35,425) for the camera along with the 3X zoom 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor lens.
