D40x Review - NOT!
I had hoped by now to have something to say about my new Nikon D40x, but so far it has only made me very happy to also own a D2X. I suppose I should not be surprised that there is such a huge difference between the two cameras when you consider the equally huge price difference.
That said, can you see a meaningful difference in the two pictures - shot with the same lens - a Nikkor 14mm, manually focused, 1/5 second at f4.5 - one with the D2X and the other with the D40x? (Disclaimer: The D2X image was imported in its native NEF (RAW) format, the other began as a JPEG - thanks to the inability to import D40x NEF format into CS2. ARGH!!! Also, both images were squeezed through my usual "blogerize" action and some color and level adjustments were made to at least one of the images to get it to more closely match the other.)
Comments?

On my monitor, I see no difference. I take it you're not happy with your D40X?

Well, I do like some things about it - the image quality for instance - but there are significant differences between it and the D2X. I'll try to put together a review soon.

Irfan? As in IrfanView? One of my all-time favorite Windows applications? Irfanview is so important to me, it's one of the main reasons I have not switched to a Mac. :)
