Hello,

Thanks for the added comments, and thanks for not starting a Nikon Vs Canon debate!

Beside photography, I also enjoy playing Irish folk music. That means that when I try to combine both passions, I find myself taking pictures of friends at Irish sessions or concerts, with a 1.8 50mm lens at 1600 ISO on my D70.

See why it's important to me?

I looked at the side-by-side, and yes the D300 is more feature-rich, but to *me* high ISO noise is more important than the focus system, 2 megapixels and incredible LCD. Yet I have 4 nikkor lenses that I don't feel like trading/selling.

Does Canon make anything better than the 40D, without going into the 4000$ plus territory? (I'm quite familiar with Nikon's line-up, not quite as much with Canon's).

Thanks,

Loa
