err....the more i read...the more difficult to make my decision....

350D...quite cheap and good quality...i dont like it as this model is very old, and the screen is damn small

400D..nice cam...but the price is more expensive than 350D and D40, and is a bit out of my budget

D40..nice price, good quality BUT, must get a EF-s lens..and only 3 focus point.

feel like wanna get canon, as my cousin using canon and he has the L lens, i mayb can share with him...but 350D is an old model while 400D is quite expensive

D40 overall is a good camera...but i really wonder the 3 focus point will be a big problem in taking pic or not? And the nikon lens is cheaper compare to canon.

ahh....the pro and cons...really make me headache...and i wish to get it during May, so hopefully some1 can give more opinions here, so that i can decide faster

May? How much more can you save till May?

I'd say get the 350D, you can use both EF and EF-S lens and without having to worry about getting imcompatible lens whereas D40 only have Af on AFs lens.

8mp and 6mp, more focus points, your cousin uses Canon -> can borrow lens anytime

like what Nairud said - the D40 does not have auto-focus on non AF-S / AF-I lens.

old model doesn't mean bad. i'm using 350D as well and AFAIK nairud was a 350D user too.

the most will be 3K...

Follow your heart....and get the one you feel the most one

3K can get 400D already. I think without accesories lah

ya, that is true..but i'll be broke at that time ...arhh...really dunno which to chose..

And i heard that canon kit lens is not as sharp as Nikon 1...that make me step back from canon...

er...how??

Canon KitLens not that bad as describe by certain ppls.

Used the Kitlens first. Later got $$$$ then get the 'L' Lenses lah

D40 have limitation. Better get 350D.

Aiyo...ragu so much and comparing so many you will never get one ...trust me.

Since u said 350D LCD small..drop it. D40 3 focus point also not meet ur requirement drop it also...

So u left 400D.

For newbiews (like me), start with kitlens first...FULLY utalise it until u think cannot extend anymore then only slowly upgrade..by that time u will know what length lens u want ....

chrisoys is right, kitlens is a lens..not something that after u snap and cannot accept the result ...

TS..put this on ur list too.. below 3k.

D40X ah...i better spend a bit to get better cam wo...if not i'll just pick D40..

Haaa ... this is where I will come in. For those ppl who say 'Canon's kit len is not as sharp as Nikon' I will alway have ONE advice ...

"Pay Nikon Rm2000+, get the D40 and find out"

After all, coming to real life photographic situation, a kit lens will NEVER EVER be enough regardless you're using Canon or Nikon, so why worry about the sharpness alone? If you have stepped back from Canon, then go the Nikon way. And oh, you might wanna try out the kit lenses that belong to Sony, KM, Pentax and Olympus as well. I also 'hear' that their kit lens are shaper than Nikon AND Canon.

What is wrong with you ppl-lah! LCD too small also complain. I am 1.8" LCD and cannot zoom also belum complain. The LCD is for checking the image and showing to girls only, still does not match monitor colour most of the time. If suddenly you cannot preview your pics then die-lor, can throw away camera liao-lor

find out wat? find out that Nikon kit lens is actually not that sharp compare to Canon? or Nikon kit lens is actually very very sharp??

both the same.

phew...luckily u say that...if not i'll crack my head to think which to buy again

kit lens is fine wan. even i'm using kit lens.

however before any idiot come and bash my statement above, please try to understand what i'm saying.

not everyone is into paying for lens, kit lens has its merits. it's later on (if you ever) you might feel that the kit lens doesn't suit or is not catering your style of photography, that's when you will look into other lenses.

for me? i've already reserved a zoom lens. next up are macro and prime lens. hehe. let's see how it goes.

and damn. need to get a bag and a manfrotto tripod. oh yeah and an external flash to replace my current cheapo-external flash (which i hardly utilize in the first place).

I need repeat again oredi ....

Canon win at speed, Nikon win at colour but colour computer can adjust...speed only camera can ....

Sharp or not sharp depend on the lens u using....

Ok...thanks for all the opinions;)

actually i take a lot of zoom photo. i use my fren DSLR b4, and i find that i need at least a 300mm zoom.

But, still i'll master my skill on kit lens first

you are agree that nikon colour than canon.......
