The D40x is an entry-level Nikon digital SLR, announced on 2007-03-06. 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.

The D40x is an entry-level Nikon digital SLR, announced on 2007-03-06. 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.
