Nikon D40x vs. Canon, Olympus, Sony, Small SLR
2 of 2 found this helpful I based my decision to buy this camera on strong reviews from the excellent dpreview site and others. Obviously the main competition to this camera is the small Canon SLR's.
At the time the D40x was in production the Canon equivalent was the EOS 400d. Some reviewers will talk about the better feature list of the Canon or the minute discrepancies in picture quality at high sensitivities but most who put the Canon in front are not reviewing the Cameras as a package with the kit lenses. Most reviews will say the Nikon lens is superior to the Canon lens which for me gave the Nikon the edge.
With both cameras being tied on image quality, build quality was next on my list to judge. Nikon wins hands down on this and I don't think many (even Canon owners) would argue. Just pickup a Nikon and a Canon and you'll see what I mean. Personally I have had a bad experience with a Canon that lasted about a week beyond the warranty before never turning on again but have owned two twenty+ year old Nikons. I should add, however, that although my Nikon D40x (purchased on eBay recently) works perfectly and is in very good condition the focus ring on the kit lens feels flimsy to me and has a lot of play in it. This doesn't affect the operation of the camera in any way but it detracts from the quality feel of a Nikon camera and is slightly disappointing.
The other major factor that pushed me to plump for the Nikon was second hand price; the Canons are massively over priced on eBay. This may be down to the replacement to the baby Canon (the EOS 450d) being aimed at a higher price bracket than it's predecessor thus confusing second hand buyers. Whatever the cause, for the price of the excellent Nikon D40x on Ebay, you'd only be able to get the much older Canon EOS 350d (which is certainly an inferior camera).
So from the perspective of a second hand buyer the Nikon D40x offers much better value than the Canon's but what about the Sony A100 or Olympus small SLRs? Don't know is the honest answer. Both can be had for even less than the D40x. Both are without doubt better second hand buys than the Canon (due to inflated prices of second hand entry level Canon's on eBay) but some reviewers think Olympus and Sony picture quality is inferior to Nikon and Canon.
If you’re into features then I would certainly look at Sony and Olympus in more detail. If you want a straight forward, reliable, well made small SLR that can’t be faulted of picture quality than go for the Nikon. If you the Canon’s, buy a new one; the second hand price is ludicrous.
