I recently started work at jessops in york (the uk's largest camera retailer), Anyway if your thinking of buying an entry level digital slr, either go with the cannon eos 400D or buy a nikon d40 x.


Nikon have finally come out with the D60, the real replacement for the D40.

The D60 is about £100 more expensive than a D40x and you get very little for that money.

the only real improvements on the D40x are:

a sensor that dectects how close you face is to the view finder (so it turns off the LCD screen)

and a self cleaning sensor which means when you take a photo there wont be any dust on the picture

which is all well and good but if you maintain your camera well you shouldnt have a problem.

A Nikon d40x body only costs £391.95 but a nikon d60 costs £449.99
