Verdict
Pick the D40X if you need the extra resolution and slightly faster burst for just 9 EUR more. The D40 stays the better choice if you prioritize the lowest possible cost and don’t require the higher megapixel count or the marginal speed bump. Both remain equally limited by the lack of in-body stabilization.
