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..
