So... with the big sales on, trying to figure out which SLR to buy. The Cannon Rebel or the Nikon D40.
Here's the delimma... I've got an EOS 35mm film camera now with two lens. So should I stay with the Cannon because of this or go to the Nikon which I think I'll like better. (note my cannon lens are old. like 1990 made).
However, my point and shoot is Nikon (Coolpix 4600), which uses SD cards. My dive camera uses SD cards also. The Rebel uses the Compact Flash. I'd prefer to stay with the SD cards across the board if possible.
Is there any clear choice over the D40 and the Cannon Rebels?
BTW.... the local stores have a deal on the D40 for $649.
Comes with 18-55mm lens, 55-200mm lens, camera bag, and 2gb SD card, plus a few other trinkets not worth mentioning.
