D40 or 400D??

[Fragnatic]

the one you feel more comfortable with

remember, you're buying into a SYSTEM, not a CAMERA

also, make sure you like the interface/handling of the camera, if you buy a camera which feels weird in your hands.. you won't use it.

yes. very true.

Nikon lenses are more ex..

D40X only uses the newer lenses meaning when u purchase lenses from the Buy/Sell forums need to take note of the lenses models.

400D is able to use all the canon lenses in the market


but personally i feel Nikon Flash are better.. but Canon ISO is better?
Take note: all this is i personally feel.. no War PEACE.

yep, nikon generally has higher noise than canon. in other words, the noise control of canon usu. better. (can bump up the ISO w/o much noise)

same here, just my opinions. no war

Personally I think Nikon has better reputation, and maybe optics.

But I don't like D40/D40x series which support only AF-S or AF-I lenses for auto-focusing. You may need to check up for future compatibility issues for this.

In terms of entry level, I think Canon is doing more attractive. Now you can consider 450D.

However, if you plan to do for long term, should aim for better model of Nikon, or consider Sony.
