>>171082 I think that if you're wondering if you should get a high end point and shoot versus a dSLR, then you have to re-think your priorities. A SLR will definitely provide you with higher quality images and more flexibility. But you may need to invest a lot more to take advantage of these. Just make sure that you also have a flexible budget for your shiny new dSLR as well.
If you want to simply take pictures and have photography as a small hobby, then buy a p&s but not an overly expensive one like the G9. In either case, if you have some hesitation that you cannot invest the TIME to take pictures, then go for the p&s and cut your losses.
The d40 and the 40d are completely different models from different makers with the 40d being much more expensive. (I'm not too sure if you realized the price differential yet.) It's like comparing apples and oranges. Yes, the quality will be different since they are different cameras. But this can also be said about cameras made by the same maker as well. Never assume one camera has the same quality as another especially with SLRs since the lens is another factor as well.
