Specifications

8.0 Megapixels and 6x zoom
Optical Image Stabilizer
DIGIC III processor with Face Detection AF/AE
ISO 1600
17 shooting modes including VGA movies (30 fps) with sound
Optional accessories available, including Underwater Case

Conclusion - Pros
Surprisingly good image quality (at lower ISO settings)
Accurate metering in the majority of situations
Long lens with surprisingly good edge-to-edge performance
Handy macro performance at wide end of lens
Bright, clear screen
Very simple user interface
Good battery life out of NiMH AA batteries
Feels fast and responsive in use
Fairly subtle noise reduction in ISO 100-400 region
Direct print button can be customized into something useful
Comprehensive range of controls
Well priced

Conclusion - Cons
Occasional tendency to ignore (and overexpose) bright regions
Usual issues above ISO 400 due to noise and noise reduction
Low resolution screen
Rather cheap feeling plastics
Plastic tripod mount mounted on far corner of body
Battery life and flash recycle times far from class-leading (thanks to two AA cells)

Dslr na lang ang bilihin natin kasi pabagsak naman ang price nila. Yung Nikon D40X nasa 25K na lang.

Wow. Mura na rin pala D40x. Nung October '07, nasa 22K yung D40 lang.

Yung A720IS, dami nagbebenta sa TipidPC. Around 15k, usually less. They claim it's brand new and has canon warranty.

Di ba ang D40X doesn't have an built-in focus drive motor which means it can auto focus only with lenses which have their own drive motor. Anybody for the price of lenses with drive motor? Parang mas mapahal pa yata tayo dito sa D40X na to, di nyo ba trip ang S5 1S ng Canon,  di lang sya DLSR di ba?
