The D40 was the first Nikon DSLR without an in-body focus motor. Autofocus requires the use of a lens with an integrated autofocus-motor.[4]
In March 2007, Nikon released a sister model, the D40x, which included a 10.2-megapixel sensor and several other changes over the original D40.[5]
Reviews of the Nikon D40 have been generally favorable due to its ergonomics and image quality.[6] It received some criticism for some design compromises Nikon undertook to keep the D40's price and size competitive.[7]
On March 6, 2007, Nikon introduced the D40X, a sister camera to the D40.[5] While identical in external design to the D40, it has a 10.2-megapixel CCD sensor, continuous shooting up to 3 frames per second, and a base sensitivity of ISO 100. It has a flash sync speed of 1/200 of a second.
A new consumer-level telephoto zoom with vibration reduction debuted alongside the launch. Nikon ceased production of the D40X in December 2007, shortly before they introduced its successor, the Nikon D60.
