The D40x is the bigger brother of the D40, is compact and light and has the most important SLR features. Just like all its (DSLR) siblings, the D40x powers on instantly and take pictures with almost no shutter lag which are the major advantages of a DSLR over a point and shoot camera. Some notable features include Auto mode, 10.2 MP sensor and in camera editing capability.
About the 18-55mm II AF-S kit lens: A good lens producing sharp photos (though not a very fast lens), decent for close-up/macro photography. Lens uses internal focus technology and focusing operation is silent.
Priced reasonably and packed with good features the D40x is a great switch from point-and-shoot-cameras to digital SLR cameras.
