My father wants a DSLR. He specifically mentioned Nikon, though I myself have always preferred Canon for some reason.
What I am looking for is some quick, outright opinions on DSLR's in this price range, mainly between the Nikon D40, and the Canon Rebel XS.
Obviously the XS offers a higher megapixel, but on discussion boards I seem to always see that megapixel's arent everything.
So:
Nikon D40- $410, 6.1 MP
Canon XS- $457, 10.1 MP
Nikon D60- $484, 10.2 MP
He said he wanted something higher megapixel, he has a 4 megapixel one right now. I am leaning toward the Canon XS. Seem like a solid buy?
