I recently picked one of these up myself. I had a D40 back in the day. The images I got from that were really good so thought it would be fun to have one again. Besides, the whole kit only cost me $55 with battery, charger, strap and kit lens. I did get the D40X though thinking the xtra resolution would be good. BTW, there is NO video on these camera. I believe the first Nikon with video was the D90.
Old school is the best school....well done. As always, ( for the first time ) keep up the good work and keep'em flying... from the little red planet... 👽👾👽👾👽👾👽👾👽👾👽👾....🤣
Why not. The more I think on this there is a really good answer. Why not shoot with these cameras. I had rather see someone pick one of these up shoot with it than dumping thousands of dollars into the latest and greatest to find out it is not for them. So a budget oppition is the way to go. Yes I have way better and newer cameras. But there is something about shooting with these old cameras.
i like the robustness of that era's cameras. i still actively use my nikon d90. actually i use it more than my fuji x-t3 because i am not afraid be rough with it. d90 is like a tank compared to new Dslrs and mirrorless. new cameras are too digital and fragile, i am always on edge when i use them, what if i put it on the table too hard, what if the lcd is brakes or get scratched etc. d90 lcd screen is not a touch screen and because of that, it has a 1/4 of a centimeter thick plastic cover on it, i'd have to throw it into wall to be able to break it. and if you are afraid to carry and take your camera to everywhere, then you are not using it, you miss shots. d40x doesn't have video, d90 was the first one to be able to record hd (720p) video, if i remember correctly, it was released in 2008. i am not sure if d70-d80 etc had a 480p recording options.
I have a D40X bought it brand new when released have a D90 also and a D800... Seriously you content would be better if you film from a reasonable position not up face and cure your mic issues and lighting.. are you a camera person or not.. it appears you may not be.
I still use a D40x that I bought in 2009. I use an 18 70 afs DX f3.5 F,4.5 lens Doesn't eat batteries.

So far I am impressed with this camera. I keep saying don’t push these old cameras away. They are pretty sweet.
Pretty neat camera. Cheers, Patrick!
Thanks 👍

Welcome to the channel. Love the old school cameras and this is just another example of well made hardware.
Why are we looking at my first digital camera?

Camera's are built tougher now...
