D40 = Nikon

Very different cameras, spec-wise.

good guess.

yeah, I know. I haven't even had an slr, but all the money goes into lenses, and by the time I've upgraded a couple, the difference between that and an xti will seem like a dumb upgrade to have skipped.

So true.

My gf and I bought a 400D in September-ish last yeah. Since then, in chronological order:

- Bought a 75-300mm IS USM lens
- Sold the shitty 70-300mm kit lens
- Bought an 18-55mm IS lens
- Bought a 100mm USM Macro lens
- Bought a tripod
- Bought a 20D
- Sold the 400D (with the other shitty kit lens)
- Sold the 18-55mm IS lens
- Bought another 20D
- Bought a Tamron 17-35mm lens
- Bought a 300mm prime lens
- (About to) buy a 1.4x tele-converter



It never fucking stops.

yeah, starting out with a 40d for a 'beginning' camera is probably dumb, but I know I wouldn't feel right 'til I'd spent at least as much on accessories as I had on the camera, and by that point with an xti...yeah. fuck that.

Casio Exilim does it for me. awesome camera.

Nikon cameras below the range of the D200 are pure crap. Don't get them. I wouldn't get any of Canon's lower range cameras either.

Look at a used 20D, 30D, or a new 40D. 40D would be great. I have one, and I love it.

the prosumer dslr's by canon are much better than the same class nikon though. not that either is really as good of an investment as the much better 40d or 5d or 1dsMKIII
