Book excerpt: Photographers will be happy to see this successor to Nikon’s user-friendly D40x. Small and light, it’s perfect for those moving up from compact digital cameras. And it’s better than ever, with its enhanced Retouch menu options; new EXPEED digital image processing for refined tone and color; lightning-like start-up time; and Active D-Lighting that improves image quality in high-contrast conditions. Magic Lantern DVD Guide provides a perfect introduction to the model, while the book, written by Nikon expert Simon Stafford, will take them even more deeply into the camera’s every function.
