Facing a very big dilemma now, man, really don’t know whether I should spend B$1,200++ on an EOS 400D (spend more, but more features) or B$900++ on Nikon D40 (left more $$ for lens, but the body itself has less feature).

As I mentioned in previous post, I am planning to buy a d-SLR, probably within weeks (if I make up my mind early, or someone offered me a good second-hand deal), else I’ll wait till after my AS paper. I have around B$1,500 to spend, but I’ll try to spend as little as I can. Since this is the first BIG purchase in my entire life, I’ll take my time to think about it. Family isn’t very supportive on this (brother said I am crazy, mom no comment since I am spending the $$ I earned myself), so yea, I have to depend on myself, boo. =(
Well, it’s not about choosing the d-SLR itself only, it’s about choosing the system (when we talk about d-SLR, it’s not about the camera/body itself only, it’s about the system which includes the body, the lens, flash units and etc). The decision I made on this is going to stick with me forever (or cost me a fortune to change my decision): if I choose Nikon D40, I am going to use Nikon forever, the lens, the flash and etc and same things for Canon.
Updates: I end up with the D40, for more, read here.
