i'd suggest canon, just because of it has the AF motor and the D40x don't. Lens selection will be your next big issue next time. You'll face problems finding the right lens next time if u use the D40x. While canon L lens are costly, there are other options like sigma and tamron. smile.gif

You do the choosing man.

and the D40 doesnt have option for vertical grip. the 350D does...makes it a bigger midget.

The D40X not as good an option as the ageing 350D meh? Hmmm..... I haven't checked out the full specs sheet but I thought it would be a better choice as it has advanced since the days the 350D was launched and upgraded from the original D40. But I only know CANON and I can't really influence this decision except wonder.......

I think u can compare the camera spec such as pros n cons from the opinion of sifu here.

The important issue is which 1 u like n need.

I'd say D40x WB would be better than 350D but with 3 focus points and only AFS lenses?
It's up to him to decide

After reading all the reviews around... I think will go for D40x... but if u compare D40x and 400D... I think i will go for 400D... jUst my 2 cents... Go read around, play around.. choose what u want~

D40X + 18-55mm ED II + D40 + 55-200mm VR is a very good starter

Go for Nikon D80 if your budget permit.

Otherwise, I think the Canon 400D is a better choice than the 350D.

The Star's InTech section have many articles on DSLRs (incl. D40X and E-410).

Both also got pros and cons ler...

Technology wise ler, i am sure D40 will do better than 350D...
But Focus Points wise ler, 350D definately dapaoed D40... (7FP vs 3FP)

Buy what you need and what u want...
