Several people have told you and will tell you that the D40 has been discontinued or that the D60 has replaced it. Neither of these are true. Nikon is still producing and shipping the D40. That said, the Canon is a far superior camera to the D40, with the exception of the large pixels of the 6MP sensor. Larger pixels are, by nature, better in low-light. However, the Nikon uses a CCD sensor rather than Canon's superior CMOS sensor. You will be happy with either of these cameras as they are both excellent for beginning and learning photography.

I agree with Fhotoace's answer. And to take it a step further since you are about to spend a lot of money on a professional piece of camera equipment, "rent" the camera for a day [from samys.com, calumet.com] and take it on a trial shoot. That way, you will have no doubts as to whether or not you will have selected the very best camera for your needs. As a reminder, did you know that the majority of professional photographers do not "own" their cameras, since there is ever changing technology which simply makes today's cameras obsolete. They often "lease" or "rent" professional equipment in order to seek out different cameras to fulfill their photo assignments.
Good luck!

Nikon for sure. For one, you can exchange the lenses between the film and digital SLRs, so you only have to buy one set.
I have one, and I love it. They're by far the best.
