I'd do one with the D40 - except I'm not sure what the equivalent Canon is... I suppose the 400D, which is quite a bit more expensive. What IS Canons' entry-level offering these days?
D40x would be close to the 400D. I personally don't like Nikon's new series at all. They don't feel like real cameras to me, and feel like fischer price toys. I loved my D50...sturdy, reliable, and very low noise. It could most likely compete against a D300 if it had 1/3 ISO stops.
