| Re: Which is best?
Hi,
I'm basically the same as you (except I recently bought a set-up). I went with the Canon 400D because it was cheaper than the Nikon D70s (although I'm not sure about the Nikon D40, and also I was impressed with the 10 megapixels which the camera has. The 400D cost me under £500, I think about £470 which I thought was pretty good. As for lenses I can't really advise you because I'm a beginner and don't know much at all about lenses. Basically, what I do understand is that Macro lens are for real close ups of insects and other small things, and should also be alright for family photos, while if you are interested in birds and other creatures that might be a bit further away then tele-photo zoom lenses are very useful.
There are so many photography experts on this site so you will get some great advice, I started one of these threads when I was about to get my camera and it was really useful.
