It says here that the noise from the D40 is lower than the 400D but doesn't have as many advanced features as other SLR's.... Confused

http://www.digicamreview.com/nikon_d40x_dslr_review.htm

Here is the summary from the above review.....

digicamreview.com wrote:

Summary: The Nikon D40x is a compact 10 megapixel Digital SLR that produces great image quality, with very low noise levels. Images are bright, detailed, and colourful with lots of saturation, and the camera produces pleasing JPEG images. This makes it a great starter Digital SLR, because you simply point and shoot and you should get great results. It has a powerful flash that copes well with group photos, and produces pleasing skin tones. It's also compact, good value for money, comfortable to hold, extremely quick in use, and comes with a great Nikon kit lens. However, it's when you start delving into the further options, such as custom white balance, or sharpness settings, that the limitations soon become apparent. The camera can be slightly awkward to use with most controls buried within the menu system, and although it has a great built in help system, that doesn't help when the buttons aren't labelled and you need more than one custom button. The camera is also limited in that it doesn't support all Nikon lenses, and lacks exposure compensation braketing, a feature all other DSLRs, and most compact cameras, have. Then when you compare this camera to the competition, you notice it doesn't feature dust reduction, in body image stabilisation, or live-view. Overall, this camera produces high quality images with very low noise, and is recommended if those are your main concerns, but those looking for a more advanced camera would probably be better off looking elsewhere.

I would have mega difficulty in deciding as well PopN. There are tons of reviews on these two out there so good luck.

If you do decide on one please let us know. Wink

Yea....Nero is the man for this but I know he will say the canon. To be honest, if I was to choose....the canon eos rebel would be the one I choose but then again lol _________________ Beam divergence formula: ((dot size in mm) - (beam diameter at aperture in mm)) / (distance in meter) = mRad of your unit.

The noise differences between the models mentioned is so minimal that even a professional would be hard pressed to spot the difference. Noise reduction software is easy to obtain and use today as well. Your range of available lenses is larger and less expensive on the Canon side. That's probably going to be your deciding factor if you enjoy photography. And yes, I'd suggest the Canon. But if you are likely to just buy one or possibly two lenses, then either camera is VERY good. _________________ Regards, Marco Nero * Laser Gallery: http://www.pbase.com/nero_design/pro1wickedlasers * Always use appropriate laser-safe eyewear when using higher powered lasers.
