This post is titled Nikon D40x by author SoulJah.
The release of the consumer-friendly D40 four months ago is followed up by it's replacement D40x a few days ago ahead of the PMA. The D3 announcement however, was nowhere to be heard leading up to the PMA event.
This D40 version however, has the 10 megapixel CCD sensor lifted from the D80 and also has the improved burst rate up from 2.5fps in the D40 to 3fps in the D40x. The base ISO is up (down rather) to 100 as well.
From the Flickr groups I frequent, most D40 owners are kinda miffed about this, understandably, but us D80 owners need not worry though. It's still has much more features than the D40x. Unless, they decide to release a D80x, which will be met with much more cries of foul I'm sure.
But in any case, this is looking much better to become a second body which we just connect an AF-S or AF-I (lenses with motor drives) on it than the D70 line, D50 or even the plain vanilla D40x.
I'm still kinda hoping for the announcement of that D3 line though. 18.7 megapixels is overkill I'm sure, but at least we can one-up the announcement of the Canon 1D Mark III and it's 10fps burst shot.
