Let me know which one you've decided with. I'm thinking of going into the same direction .. Nikon D40 or Canon 400D .. My friend who've been playing with DSLR for quite sometime suggested me to go for the Canon 400D. Let me know which one you choose and why ..

This might be a little off topic but you should take a look at k100D super.
Sometime it happens, deciding between A and B suddenly C came along and C the winner!

Actually he's right..Iwas like u before choosing between these 2 ..I love the colors of nikon , vivid and bright but i also like the AF points of 350d and my answer is the k100d super

A dslr full featured under 2k

11 AF points...very fast AF compared to 350d
6 megapixel but very strong ISO performance ..ISO3200.
IN body stabilizer- can buy good lenses and have vibration reduction with any lenses..no need to buy IS lenses anymore.

Dust removal - like 400D...

Can use supersonic lenses..which means can upgrade to higher end lens.

Light like D40 but better built with a stainless steel chassis than 350d....

Try one before u guy ...

oh yeah it have a top lcd display and a 2 inch LCD screen ..350d have only 1 inch plus screen..and colors are not that vivid. Lens are very very expensive and its kit lens is the worst amongst dslr kit lens.

wahh.. nicely said. *throws away his 350D*
anyways, i still prefer canon. *picks up the 350D again*

if u want dual screen but smaller LCD go for 350D,(feel pro).
if you want larger screen but 1 screen only go for D40(a bit laggy).
thats my not professional opinion.^^

350D is better in term of noise control

but the noise control create loss of detail

well at least mention la it's a Pentax.

anyway i did consider the k100D before.

the only things I didn't like were

1. 6mp (my S7000 already 6mp.)
2. uses AA battery (arggh i hate using AA batteries)
3. doesn't use CF card (damn, cannot use / borrow CFs)
4. harder to find used lenses compared to C and N BUT it's not a problem getting lenses for them, almost any camera shops can order the lens for you.

why did I consider it in the first place? onboard IS. Just like how i also considered the A100 from Sony.

in the end 350D - because someone was selling it cheap. that time K100D / A100 used unit no where to be found.

i've tried pentax before and it was a great cam i must say .. color more natural and high ISO intelligent control ..

Then any planning of switching camp to *ist side?

hahahah.. still in searching of DSLR

out of nowhere.. k100d super appear..

well.. still waiting other to review.. nobody of my friend using it.. so i can't test it extensively.. unlike d40 and 350d/400d which is widely available..

1. need to know about service (at lest canon be good at me last time ) )
2. acc price in general?

You could ask at the k100D super discussion thread. Maybe they'll ask you to go with group shots... This month's DCM have a review on K100D Super.

I might choose 350D

heed my words!

Any Good camera will do if you shoot in RAW

but still, choose your camera wisely.

*runs away from thread*

haha... rad is true... i also did think of getting D40 or 350D, in the end getting 350D, because of wide range lens, and also.... if u go browse through rad's deviant art or.. google "lim wan xiong" ( previous 350D user ) for his deviant art (couleur).. u'll be amazed what a 350D can do.... so everytime i cant shoot good pictures, i look at their account, i wont blame the camera, i blame myself.. ^^

another difference will be, D40 is made of magnesium alloy where else 350D is plastic ( feels toyish ).. so it depends on ur own.. feel them... play with them... see which one u prefer..
