Can the Nikon D40x take videos?

Can the Nikon D40x take videos? - 1

It can't. The first Nikon which could do that was the D90 which came out a couple of years after the D40X.

This question turned up several years ago, actually, and it is quire interesting to see what people thought of the idea at the time.

No.

It was made during a time when dSLRs were still sanctified and pure.
