Digital SLR camera recommendations?
My brother is thinking of buying a digital SLR camera and was wondering if you have any recommendations. I think it's reduced down to the Canon XTi and Nikon D40. He said that the Nikon D80 was too expensive and too professional to use. He said he would not want to spend more than $ 1,000 in it.
This is an interesting pairing. As you know, the D80 is supposed to be the competitor of the XTi. I have a relationship and, in writing of the D40X and it Xti can be useful. If he is looking at the D40 and the D40X (which means your message), almost all of them still apply. He might want to see D40 reviews and see sample images there.

Can we assume (hope) that gives results similar to the D80? It appears so. View: http://www.popphoto.com/cameras/3896/camera-test-nikon-d40x.html a favorable review that even compares it with the XTi just a little. I still like the idea that the Nikon has a meter of ground and find it strange that Canon does not. The Nikon is a bit limited in autofocus capabilities and speed compared to the Canon, though. Here are some pertinent quotes about the D40X: "suppression Noise was generally better than the D80 is much better than the Rebel. As ISOs increased, the resolution of the D40x is superior to the rebels. "" The status -economy model of the D40x does not show image quality, either. At ISO 100, the D40x turned in an average resolution of 2075 lines, slightly behind the Nikon D80 and Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi. "Continue on page 2 for direct comparison with the XTi. I'll let you read it for yourself, since it seems to lean slightly to the Canon and I would kill to write that. I'll leave that job for Koko. But seriously, these cameras are very close in performance and value. It is true that there is a "problem" with older Nikon lenses not autofocusing on the D40, but if you do not have a bag full of larger goals, it will not be a problem. You have to go to a real camera store and pick up the two cameras and see how they feel to you. Some people will love the Canon and some will love the Nikon. Find out what you are. You will be happy with any of the two, but you will be happier with that best fits your hands.
