Hi guys, could anyone who has experience with both Canon and Nikon DSLRs share their views on these 2 brands?
Ive played around with a Canon EOS350D before and i thought the images were really good, camera felt nice in hands although it felt abit cheap cos of the plastic construction... I also had a play with the recent 40D ... thought it was surprisingly heavy, but felt like a meaner piece of equipment
Ive not had any experience with Nikons, so was wondering if Im missing out on notable features of the other brand...
I heard Nikons feel better in hand, canons control noise better, things like that

u cant go wrong with either brand, both produce good cameras, but beware if u're buying the nikon D40/D40x cause it lacks the AF motor in body, so u're limited to certain lens, otherwise u have to do manual focus.. if u're not worried bout that,then either brand,any model also works fine..

However, I have to admit also that the auto focus system for Nikon is better than Canon's.

i think their flash system works better than canon too... i always envy my friend's D70/D70s that can do wireless flash with their cheap SB600 while my 350D + 430EX need an expensive ST-E2 or another master flash gun to perform the same..
