Better selection of lenses (D40/D40x cannot use older Nikon lenses) 3. Better accessory selection (including vertical/battery grip) 4. Too few focus points on the D40x (nine on the 400D, three on the D40) The D80 is really the competitor to the 400D, the D40x is strictly entry level. I'd buy the D80 over the 400D. >> Stay informed about: Nikon D40x or Canon EOS 400D?

I ended up with the D40 rather than the D40x as I felt that 6MP better suited my picture taking and may provide better high-ISO performance. At the time, Canon offered nothing like the high-performance but very light weight 55 - 200mm IS (VR) lens. The cost was less as well. David >> Stay informed about: Nikon D40x or Canon EOS 400D?

400D. The D40x, whilst a good camera, is a toy in comparison the the 400D which will take you further in terms of your photography options. The d40x is for the point and shoot crowd really. D80 is the Nikon competitor the the 400D and I would still take the 400D. Here the reason is a quite personal just preferring the feel and user interface, but that is highly user specific. The D80 is a great camera. Cheers, Wayne Wayne J.
