DSLR CONFUSION!! d40x vs.d60 vs d70?

Question

i have no idea.

my mind is set on d40x coz its cheaper.... thats all really???

HELP!!!

WHICH IS THE BEST????

Answer 1

The D40 and D60 require that you use the latest DX SWM lenses if you want autofocus. The D70s still has the ability to autofocus older professional lenses that are still in excellent condition and can save you a fortune.  I bought a few pro lenses off ebay and I'm extremely happy with the results I'm getting with the D70S.

Answer 2

the D40 is the best IMO out of all three.  the D60 has a newer processor but for overall performance the D40 wins hands down.

Better image quality with a high quality 6mp sensor

Answer 3

Hmm. i would say that the nikon d40x and the nikon d60 are pretty evenly matched for starters ::P. When it comes to those two, i would get the nikon d60, because it's newer and has time to update and become better. I like the nikon d60 more, and it was even on t.v. They may have the same resolution and all of that. But the nikon d40x is just a continuation of the nikon d40, which was a successful camera. Whereby, the nikon d60 is a totally new camera. But, when it comes to the nikon d70, i wouldn't kick it in the dirt yet. Having all of that said, i wouldn't get the nikon d70 because it seems really old.  So, i would get the:

Nikon d60

It honestly depends on what you're going to be photographing.

If you're going to be shooing fast moving things, go with the D60 or D70 (now the D80) D40x is a bit cheaper, but the D60 is a lot faster than the D40x. That's where your extra money has gone: speed.

If you're to not be shooting sports all that often, go with the D40x. It's a wondeful camera (I mean, hey, it's a NIKON) and spend the money you saved a high quality Nikon lens. That's where the REAL image quality and a lot of camera performance comes from.
