Nikon D40X
The D40X is already a big hit with photography students and enthusiasts. With its budget pricing, straightforward design, and reliable performance, this is one of the best options to start your photography career with. Aimed as an upgrade to the earlier Nikon D40, Nikon pumped up the camera resolution to 10.2 megapixels and pushed in the same image processing engine that does duty in the D80 and the D200. The three-point auto focus is not the most cutting-edge, but it's still a great camera to own, as can be seen from our review here. The decision to go with AF-I or AF-S lenses may increase the long-term costs (and piss off old-school photographers in the process), so keep that in mind before you rush out waving your credit card.
