Hi guyz, i wish to get a entry level SLR... but confuse bout d40 and 350D.. actually which 1 are more better and wat is the different?

*btw, wat is the price now for this 2 model ? and any shop recommened ??

Thanks in advance !

350D. the reason would be you can use all the canon lens. simple as that. d40 dun have AF motor on body. so when you use d40 with a lens without a built in AF motor, you'll have to manually focus

350D

qwerty <-- lengthen post

agreed. 350D

i really think any would be good. d40 has less mp,no af for some lenses but on par noise levels with 350d,i would think better color rendition than canon and also wb.

would suggest u try out both and see for yourself

35OD of course. It has more 2 megapixels than D40.I have tried both at PC Fair.

agreed on the color rendition
but the AF points n all the AF features

so which LCD impressed you?

Simple, if u frens all use Nikon, then go for Nikon. And vice versa.

Like me, all my frens all use Nikon so easy for them to teach me and Nikon tricks. Some more some lens can borrow and test.

U won't go wrong with either brands.

od ic..... so have to follow my fellow frenz....

mmmm.....

tats tru also

350D, wide range of lens from canon and sigma and tamron and tokina + battery grip(which after placed on the 350D it'll look like those pro cameras ) + compact and lightweight(which was never an issue even though i have a big grip

you wont go wrong with it. If u suggested D70s with 350D then its a different story

couldn't agree more

i agreed with that when we plug the battery grip...it will looks like pro camera(a big one hihooh)

oh EOS350D...wait for me!heheh

but many ppls said 350D lens are more expensive to nikon... is it true ?

what do you mean 350D lens?

or do you actually mean Canon lens vs Nikon lens pricing?

yes indeed
i heard D80 price will go down too
and also D200, 30D, and even the 1D mark III

D40 users can just use AF-S lens what

D40 is prosumer

350D. lenses are cheaper. compare the 50mm f1.8 canon lensess with teh 50mm f1.8 nikkor lens... about RM60 different! nikkor more expensive..

same thing with all their lenses tho.... but are they BETTER!? that one.. don't bother la. actually.. no one has actually compared nikon and canon and came up with solid proof that one is better than the other. one man's meat, anothers poison.

also, don't bother about d40. get d50 or higher.

prices will always go down. i suggest u stop thinking and start buying one. by the time u think of buying one, another model will appear, and u will think again, and the cycle continues.
start shooting ASAP! after all... it's all about the shots.

can use AF-S / AF-I lens. don't make it as if such a big issue la.


FALSE. D40 is a DSLR, not PROSUMER.




i don't think they're semi-pro. they're beginner DSLRs.
