Gotcha. I guess it’s like anything, gotta pay to play. I’m leaning towards the D40x. Even dpreview commented on it’s solid build quality. The kit comes with a decent zoom lense, whereas a decent zoom lens for the Canon would be $300 bucks. I could get the 50mm f1.8 lens but (consistent with what Mike’s saying) it falls apart in a year, and my wife’s not exactly easy on things. Plus it takes SD memory which is less than half the cost of compactflash. So the Canon with a non-zoom lense and a 2 gig memory card would come to like $750, or $950 with a good zoom lens. The Nikon with a decent zoom lens and a 2 gig memory card is $650 on Amazon right now. Seems like kind of a no brainer. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/photography-whores-step-inside/35856)._
