I am looking to maybe getting a new camera since I will be going on a big trip and want to take some nice photos. I am not a very serious photographer so I don't need something super fancy. I have been mainly looking at a Nikon D40 or a Canon Rebel EOS XT. Anyone have any experience with either or any ideas on the two? Also, anyone know the difference between the D40 and D40x? I am leaning towards the Nikon because I think I may be able to get a discount on it (one of my brothers friends works at Nikon, so I need to talk to him)
If I can't get the discount, I still found
this
Seems a pretty good deal to me. For $200 more than the regular camera in the stores, I get a bunch of extra stuff like 2 more lenses.
Any ideas?
