The Nikon D40 is a 6.1-megapixel DX format DSLR Nikon F-mount camera announced by Nikon on November 16, 2006. It replaces the D50 as Nikon's entry level DSLR. It features a 2.5-inch 230,000-dot resolution LCD monitor, CCD sensor with ISO 200-1600 (3200 Hi-1) and 3D Color Matrix Metering.
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]
