Hey /p/! First time post here.
I need help choosing a camera and I can't come to a conclusion here.

My first choice is the Canon Digital Rebel XTi 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I1ZWRC/sr=1-33/qid=1205687430/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=photo&amp
;qid=1205687430&sr=1-33

Or the Nikon D40x 10.2 MP

mp;s=photo&qid=1205691642&sr=1-53

I am stumped at what to choose and decided to post here and maybe you guys could give me an input or help on what to choose between the two.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I'VE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING D40X-VS-400D THREADS ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING BOARD!

seriously.
d40x fails because it can't autofocus on half of nikon's own lenses. if you want nikon, get a d40 or a d80 (the former still fails but is dirt cheap, the latter is actually good)
400d is just a good camera without any very strong or very weak sides.

that's actually a pretty damn good analogy

nike golf equipment is pretty shitty in comparison to other brands (calaway,ping etc.etc)

400D all the way or if you can wait a month the XSi is coming up soon (slightly more expensive though hopefully to make up for the crappy lens they send out with the XTi)

get the d40 and just invest on a nice midrange zoom lens.

In after D40 can't autofocus.

Well its still almost all minolta gear on the A200.

Sure their P&S division is like that though (looks great but performance is resting on very old laurals)

The D40/D40x only works with AF-S lenses.

The 400d works with any EOS lens Canon has made since 1987.
