Why no Canon EOS 400D (Rebel XTi)?
At this time this review was written the EOS 400D (Rebel XTi) Kit was a not inconsiderate $200 in the US (or £150 in the UK) more than the Nikon D40 and has a four megapixel advantage. For the purposes of this review we are only comparing the D40 to other cameras in the $600-$700 (£350-£400) Kit price range (Canon EOS 350D / Rebel XT and Pentax K100D).
