I currently have the D40X, but mine has some problems and I may have to get a new camera. My question for you is should I stick with nikon and get another D40x or maybe a D60? Or should I switch over to canon and get maybe an EOS Rebel? And why would you choose one over the other?
Thanks!

Actually I am familiar with the Canon XS. I switched from the Canon Rebel T2 35mm. I would recommend that you get a Canon XS DSLR.It is a( DIGITAL Single Lens Reflex ) camera and sales for $549.00 up to $599.00. After you become proficient in using it, you can slowly add different lens to obtain full use of the camera. Most low cost point and shoot cameras do not offer the option of taking pictures in B&W. You would have to convert those color pictures with the software provided with the camera. However, with the Canon you can set it to take B&W pictures. I used a 300mm lens on my Canon and obtained some very awesome pictures of the moon. Picture quality is great and the craters are in great detail. Canon has been my only choice in photography due to the quality of taking pictures with those cameras. The only real filters you should invest in will be (1) UV (ultra violet) filter (primarily to protect the lens. (2) Polarized filter (to take pictures through glass and aquariums (keeps glass from glaring). Take a look at the following link. I have several pictures posted on Flicker that I took with the Canon XS. As you will see the Canon Photos have vivid color and excellent clarity. Good luck.
I will have to go with the Canon
Canon of course
the xti and the d40x are outdated cameras, i would go with either the newer d60 or the XS or XSi/T1i
personally, i’d recommend the canon over the nikon only because thats what i have, aside from my bias, both nikon and canon make excellent cameras, however, the nikon d60 [along with the d40x/d40] will not autofocus with all nikon lenses while canon’s XS, XSi and T1i will autofocus with all eos lenses
but since you have the d40x, if you have a nice collection of lenses, i’d stick with nikon,
Joe, I honestly don’t know enough about these particular models. I’ve had both brands. I have a Nikon and I use it all the time especially for night shots, close up floral pictures and sports. When I’ve shared my pictures I can’t tell you how often I get, "What kind of camera is this?" I don’t know if it’s my knack for photography or not but I really like Nikons.
Do you have Nikon stock lens,if yes I would suggest stick with Nikon camera,D40 or D60 are good choice.

awsomob is right. These are outdated cameras. You can compare any two current generation cameras on Diffen http://www.diffen.com/difference/Special:Compare/Cameras
What I like about that is you can easily spot the differences and similarities so it makes decisions easier.
