Howdy all :bonk:
I'm about to buy my first DSLR...looking around £400. I guess the major choices are the Nikon D40x and the Canon EOS 400D. In the dpreview samples, I must say I preferred the Canon, even though I've been told they can be a little "artificial" looking. I actually thought they looked more "mellow" and analogue especially on this stamp comparison.

Then I read that the lens that comes with the Canon is somewhat less than perfect but no complaints (that I've seen) about the Nikon lens (other than the lack of automation from the body).
At a push I can stretch my budget £100 or so if it's for the right deal. I realise the EOS is a little more expensive especially if I need to buy a better lens.
At some point in the future I'll buy a bigger lens...(I'm guessing these give more focus/distance options right?) but to get me started I just need a basic lens and a great camera that will last me several years.
I did some searches but couldn't find this specific question answered but apologies if I've missed something.
Thanks in advance, it's a great forum...all help would be greatfully received.
