Been thinking about a DLSR for a while. A few year old technology and only 6mp but does it matter? I've only ever had Fuji's is Nikon pretty decent? The Nikon D40X has 10Mp but is more.

Marble has Nikon's I believe :)

I wouldn't worry about the pixel count that much, unless you are planning on great big prints.

Just looked at the Canon EOS 400D that Rainbow Dave's got that looks pretty good as well. Moneys in bank and only earning 2% interest :cry: so might as well spend it.

400D is a nice spec too.

Go and try them at a Jessops or similar before buying, I didn't like the feel of the 400D as much as a bigger camera - other than that it was great.

I guess you are planning on some different lenses so you need to look at the range/price of those as well.

Yep will do.

Ther more I read the more coinfused I am between the D40x and the 400D. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras=canon_eos400d%2Cnikon_d40%2Cnikon_d80&show=all Although I do like the 400D images a little more.
