Nikon D40 or Canon OES 350 Rebel XT???

Question by pb: Nikon D40 or Canon OES 350 Rebel XT???
So i want to buy a digital slr, and i’ve done some research and now i’m basically stuck between those two cameras…

I’m a filmmaker and I travel, the camera will be mainly used in those fields. I have a decent knowledge of photography and equipment, and I have a budget of around ~$ 800 (i figured if i spend 600 on camera, i’ll be able to get a telephoto lens for another 200).

Anyways, i’ve read a number of reviews and comparisons online, but just wanted to post this to see what other people were thinking about the above models.

I played around with both of the cameras and to be honest the Nikon feels more ‘solid’ but looking at all the specs i think i am leaning more towards the canon.

So yeah, any advice would be appreciated. thanks
matt
