chrishayton Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 the D40 sucks compared to the 400d. however the d40x is better than the d40. get the canon though, in my opinion a nicer camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai the Socket Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 With the D40 and D40x you need AF-S lenses which have the motor in the lens rather than the camera. Nikon decided to take the motor out of the D40 to save weight and cost I guess, meaning that AF-S are the only lense types you can have on if you want to keep your Auto-focus, which to be honest is vital.AF-S lenses are expensive as f**k compared to normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pekr! Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Id go for a 400D I use one and I love it, cant fault it really.Stefan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26inch Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Theyre both pretty similar cameras. Id go to a shop and try both to see which one you get on best with. Also search on the internet as there are loads of free reviews. Unless you want the small size of the d40 id look at d50s as well as there are loads of real cheap deals on them if you look around and the results will be just the same as the d40. Just dont get caught up in the pixel war and choose the canon mearly because it has more pixels as in reality unless you are printing bigger than A3 it wont make a difference anyway. And it certainly wont improve image quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybaines Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Nikon are also currently running a £60 cash back promotion in the UK. I think my mate just got a D40 for £325 then gets £60 back so a good deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
