The D40x is an entry-level Nikon digital SLR, announced on 2007-03-06.[2] Nikon introduced the D40x as a sister camera to the D40. While identical in external design to the D40, it differentiates itself by the inclusion of a higher resolution 10.2-megapixel CCD sensor, 3-frames-per-second continuous shooting, a sensitivity range extended down to ISO 100, and a longer battery life. However, it has only a 1/200 flash sync speed, reduced from the D40's 1/500.
The launch was accompanied by the introduction of a new consumer-level telephoto zoom with vibration reduction, the AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED..
The camera lacks a built in autofocus motor which means that only Nikon lenses designated with AF-I and AF-S can be used in autofocus mode with the D40x (and D40), and the lenses designated AF, AF-D, AF-G, or AF-N can only be used in manual focus mode. Many recent third-party lenses now support integrated focusing motors and are thus compatible with the D40x.
Nikon ceased production of the D40x in December 2007, shortly before the introduction of its successor the Nikon D60.
