Don't know if it's my lack of knowledge to use my 350D or the camera...i find the colour of pix taken tend to have orange/red overtones. Pictures taken by my friends on the same spot and time with Nikon seems to have much better looking images most of the time.It could be a personal preference thing, but the colours and contrast of Nikon images appear much better to my eyes. Somehow, I feel the WB doesnt seem to work so well in the 350D

I have been toying with the idea of dumping the 350D. With the new 40D, I am extremely tempted to go get one. But then again,I am wondering if this colour and contrast thing is going to be a "Canon issue" again in the 40D for me. Hence the thought of ...perhaps I should jump ship?(pl don't 'sabo' me!)

Truth be told, I am a accidental Canon user, having the 350D and some lenses given to me. I only use my Sigma 18-200 when I go travelling which is 99% of my usage anyway. Most of my pictures are landscape and street shots...and from what I read, this is where Nikon may be a better choice. Not sure about this though.

Need to figure out which system to get into before I start getting more lens/accessories.

I would appreciate your thoughts/sugggestions to help me out of this quandary. ( Have read many a Canon Vs Nikon articles, and getting more confused by the day)

i believe it's a 350D issue, it's auto WB is not that good, and out-of-the-camera photos arent that nice as compared to nikon ones.. but a little tweak in PS would do the job.. no idea bout the 40D though.. but i think it should perform way better than the 350D in every aspect, except only the size and weight.. haha..
