Do you mean the XSI?? If so, my friend just got one and it's pretty nice. I haven't messed around with the D40 really, but I do own a Nikon D80 and love it. I have no info on either really haha. Sorry. :)

I have been looking between the 40D and XSi as well. It is a really tough choice as the XSi has been getting great reviews from what I have read. Look forward to seeing what you decide on.

I'm leaning towards the XSi based mostly on price and megapixels

so far the only advantage I see on the 40D is the faster shutter, but I don't think I need it that bad... I think I would rather have 2 extra megapixels and 3 shots per second less seems like a good trade-off

If I am not mistaken, all Canon lenses would fit the XSi

Well I really like how the 40D felt in my hands compared to the XSi but really the XSi does most everything the 40D for a better price. Also lighter as well

OK

XSi
Pros:
Light weight
cheaper
more MP

Cons:
slower shutter speed

40D
Pros:
a few more features
faster shutter speed

cons:
heavier
more costly
only 10.1MP as opposed to 12

hmmm... when I post the no MKVI Golf thread (http://socaleuro.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33668) it let me change GTI to Golf in the title and thread. :headspin:

Maybe it was a time between post and edit thing. Like when you edit within a set time it doesn't show that the post was edited at the bottom of it.

Like these past two lines. =)

IMO, a heavier camera makes it easier to take shots. It's easier to keep a heavier camera stable as opposed to a lighter one. Please keep in mind that this is just my opinion. I'm a newbie and this is just my opinion based off what little experience I have.

Also, megapixel values are meaningless. Anything over 8mp is fine, you're going to end up resizing them because they're monstrously large. 10.2mp will generate shots @ 3888x2592 pixels.

New development:

XSi will not take the over 11gigs worth of CF cards I already have. Big problem because I don't feel like buying that much memory on SD cards

Now looking at Olympus E-3 since I already have Zuiko lenses.
