I'm sticking with the kit 18-55 for the time being and gunna go for a super-wide first before replacing the kit with a better lens......

To the hardcore shutterbugs:

Canon EOS 400D Digital vs Nikon D40x?

your thoughts please.

Post by **breaksRbest** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 11:00 am

EOS 400D or STFU

nhd · Post by **nhd** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 11:02 am

400D over a D40 for sure Mell, just better specs allround with better upgrade options.

Post by **fooishbar** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 11:20 am

canon.

Mellogs · Post by **Mellogs** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 11:37 am

needs more info

Post by **fooishbar** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 11:42 am

better lens and accessory availability is the clincher. also i prefer the camera itself, but yeah.

it'd be more accurate to compare the d80 to the 300d, but the canon back has better auto focus, higher image capture resolution and a better (imo) ccd.

you can read more about the d40 and the 400d on digital photography review though. make up your own mind.

FunkyJ · Post by **FunkyJ** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 12:13 pm

I'm in the market for a new camera.

Mine's fine for what I want to do now, but I may want to become a stalker in the future and I can't change the lens so it's not future-proof.

Plus it's also only 5.1 megapix so it's not fantastic quality...

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 6:04 pm

spend the extra and get a 40D

I've scoured the web looking for 110mm film. Does anybody know how i could get my hands on some? Been searching for hours but no luck

J is it for your holga? If it is then just buy 120 film on ebay, usually takes a week to arrive. Otherwise Vanbar, but its pretty exy.

you really just need to know how apeture, shutter speed, and sensitivity relate to each other and to the shot. once you've got that, it's all gravy.

A digital camera with 12 million pixels is better than one with 6 million. â€˜That is correctâ€™ is what you would probably say because youâ€™ve always heard more pixels are better.

Itâ€™s not true(!!!),

makes sense, although it also says that a full frame (35mm) sensor is best and capable of 96MP

I guess it's mainly talking about conpacts

this thread has comments that echo this, the industry is obsessed with MP count. I know that people always ask when they see my Dslr "how many megapixels is that?" which is kind of irrelevant..... my old canon ixus 3.2pm takes fantastic shots too

It is in theory if you work out the size of the frame divided by whatever the pixel size they use I think.

Yeah compacts.
