Better Value? Used/Exclnt-Cond Canon 40D ~$500-600, or Refurbished-by-Nikon D90 for ~$650-750?
I want to upgrade from a fixed-lens Canon G6 to a well-built Canon or Nikon DSLR, and not a budget-level entry-level model.
Don't want to spend more than about $750 for a camera body -- any money past the cost of the body will go toward lenses, flash, filters, etc.
[Not currentlly interested in shooting video, although I suppose the video with the D90 could potentially be considered a bonus.]
Should I get the cheaper 40D, and start investing in Canon's Lens System [frequently said to be a better-value than Nikon's]?
Or is the D90 worth the extra $150 or so for it's superior sensor (at least according to dxomark.com)?
Which is the better camera-decision for the money -- bearing in mind that the $150 saved by buying the Canon would go toward a prime lens (probably starting with a Canon prime lens in the 35 to 50mm range?
Thanks for your answers!
Both brands are fantastic - brand loyalty attests to that. Every Canon owner will tell you to buy Canon, every Nikon owner will tell you to buy Nikon. That alone tells you that they are both doing it right, being able to keep their customers happy.
Both companies are very similar, but each have a few little details that are slightly better than the other.
Really, it comes down to personal preference. Narrow it down to a couple of models, then go to a store where you can hold them both.
Think about friends and family - if you can borrow someone's lenses and/or learn from their experience, it may be worth going with their brand.
You won't go wrong with either one (says the Canon girl who loves her Canons 
What is MUCH more important is your knowledge. Make sure to do a LOT of learning and research before you spend money on a DSLR - if you don't know exactly what you're doing, you'll most likely regret many of your purchasing decisions a few months later.
