Draconian Guppy Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 If you haven't decided. Neither, between the d40 and the XT, I would choose D50 :p.. Seriously Go with the XT, as other members point out it's far better almost in every area and it's well worth the extra $ it has over the D40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raider360 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 What about kit lens (400D)? Whether they are good for a beginner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premgenius Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 They are both great but because I'm a Canon fanboy I'll recommend Canon first then Nikon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterC Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hi, MasterC.Have you got something? I am in the same boat as you and prefer to get a Canon (400D/XTi). What you have decided? If you haven't decided. Neither, between the d40 and the XT, I would choose D50 :p..Seriously Go with the XT, as other members point out it's far better almost in every area and it's well worth the extra $ it has over the D40 I completely forgot about this topic, so sorry for replying late! I ended up decided to get the XT. It's supposed to be delivered on the 3rd, which also happens to be my birthday. :p I also got a remote shutter cable, a 2GB CF card (I'm going to buy more later), and the Canon 200DG camera bag. I'm so excited! Marshalus - would it be possible for you to write a review of the D40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mirumir Subscriber¹ Posted June 2, 2008 Subscriber¹ Share Posted June 2, 2008 I just bought a D40, I love it! Congrats! Which lens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshalus Veteran Posted June 2, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 2, 2008 The one that comes in the kit. 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom Nikkor lens This is my first DSLR, and actually "my" first SLR. I had a Pentax SLR that was my mothers that I used when I was growing up, but I didn't really know how to use it. I don't really know how to use the D40 either, but I'm going to learn.

comk Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Did you have any old lens with Pentax SLR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raider360 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Ok. I've decided to go with the 400D (XTi). But picture from a kit lens on a Nikon 40D looks a bit better, imo. Going to buy my Canon soon :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshalus Veteran Posted June 9, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 9, 2008 Did you have any old lens with Pentax SLR? Honestly I don't even know where that Pentax is anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodel Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Master C, how have you found your new camera? I am in the same boat trying to decide between the two. I like the Nikon because it's easier for beginners, the larger screen and has a slightly better kit lens. The Canon is tempting because there seem to be more lenses available in the second hand market, also the better autofocus and the focus motor are tempting me as well. I can't come to a decision though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
