well I think he wants to spend around the 300 mark. I suppose at the end of the day it's only a camera, for 300 quid the D40 can't be that complex and amazing lol.

AKAIK Canon doesn't have international warranty on its bodies. Not sure about Nikon.

If he goes Canon tell him to pick up a 50 f/1.8 whilst there, dirty cheap.

Personal preference is Canon. Each to their own tho! Best suggestion would be to have a play with them both and see which one you get on best with!

I have used Canon for the last 9 years and have quite a collection of Eos now! lol!

There's a good exchange rate at the minute, so he should be able to grab a bargin.

Ive got the D40, dont know why, but didnt like the set out of the canon. Canon for the choice of lenses though!
 
28 f/1.8 USM and 85 f/1.8 USM always found nifty to long or two short, have today completed my lens addicti..sorry collection..until next week anyway...

the xxxd canons are too small for my hands, and ive got kiddy hands. god knows how people with normal size hands cope.

nikons fit better in your hand, (or the other canons, 30d / 40d - and 1d/5d etc)

id personally go for the d80, much nicer than d40.

mind if i hijack briefly...? good.

when taking a photo on the d40 and the screen flashes where the image is very bright, what does this mean and how can you sort it out? cheers

It means that the area which is flashing is blown out, bassically all of the possible texture of the area is lost.

there are quite a few ways to over come blown out pictures, essetially you want to let less light to hit the sensor, one option is to step up the shutter prioty to reduce to time that the shutter is open.

Have a look at a few of the forums for advice on getting the right exposure. it just a case of trial and error.

i thought it was a simple enough question really. someone answer it anyway.

manual said if it happens push the direction button, which brings up this graph. im new to this camera so yes at the minute im playing, jus thought it might have been easy enough for someone to explain it briefly.
 
the graph is the histogram it tells you about the image and where its under or over exposed or if its correctly exposed
