Nikon D40 Takes a Final Bow – Nikon D3000 Is In – Can It Outperform the Canon Rebel XSi
Nikon’s D40 has been a truly great performer in the photography market. Its rise to the top of the market in the cheap DSLR market is due to the value that buyers felt they got when buying. It truly was a wonderful camera for beginning DSLR buyers. You can still get a D40, but they are no longer being manufactured, so the supply will run out before too long.
The Nikon D3000 has now been released, and it is already making its presence known in the camera market. There have been major upgrades from the D40, most notably from a 6.1 megapixel sensor in the D40 to 10.2 megapixels in the D3000. There have also been technology upgrades in the LCD, the image processing engine, and auto focus modes. Overall, cameras are getting “smarter” with each release. So it is becoming easier to take flawless photos when selecting the right scene mode. At the time of this article, the user rating at Amazon.com is perfect. Not one reviewer has listed a negative about their new D3000.
Canon’s direct competition to the D3000 is the Canon Rebel XSi (aka 450D). They have very similar specifications and features, but the Rebel XSi has been on the market for a year and a half already.
Here is an interesting observation. Canon and Nikon have gone head to head for as long as digital cameras have been around. Both companies came out with sub-$1000 DSLR cameras at almost exactly the same time. Both companies have similar cameras at every level in the DSLR market. There is not a clear winner at any level between Canon and Nikon. The winner is whoever the camera buyer deems to be the winner. If the buyer is a Nikon buyer, normally they will stick with Nikon, and vise versa for Canon. A few photographers have crossed the line one way or the other, but it is fairly uncommon.
So, today, if you are first time DSLR buyer, which one do you choose?
The writer was in this very predicament when the D40 and the Canon Rebel 300D came out. Ready to buy the first DSLR. Read all the forum posts. Got confused by the Canon-Nikon mud slinging and name calling (I read the forum posts now just for amusement).
Yours truly came down on the Canon side back then. Now, with the same decision, considering the Nikon D3000 and the Canon Rebel XSi 450D, the decision would be in favor of Nikon… for only one reason. It is not because I have been dissatisfied with my Canon gear.. not at all. The decision would be based solely on the age of the cameras; the Nikon is newer and actually costs a few dollars less. But either one will be excellent choices. And either one will give you awesome pictures. And both will be replaced by newer models in the very near future.
Go ahead and read the forum posts. But be prepared to be spammed by some very adamant fans of either Canon or Nikon. It’s kind of like going to a football game in the New York Giants stadium if they are playing the Jets. It will be difficult to get an unbiased opinion because they are cross-town rivals.

I love photography and all things related to it. Cameras, camera gear, and image editing software fascinate me, so I am either buying the newest piece of equipment (or software) or researching my next purchase.
What Nikon DSLR cameras are comparable to Canon’s DSLRs?
Can someone explain Nikon’s line of DSLRs in comparison to Canon’s in terms of feature set, price, and release date?
For example, would a Canon 450D be comparable a Nikon D60, Canon 500D = Nikon D70? What Nikons would be comparable to Canon’s Mark, Rebel XS, and 50/40/30D series?
What do more or less zeros mean (Nikon D5000 vs Nikon D300S vs Nikon D90 vs Nikon D3)? It seems that for Canon, the less zeros means it’s more professional (So Canon’s 1000D is a basic entry level, 300-500D is entry level, 30-50D is mid range, 5D is compact professional, 1D is non-compact professional). How does it work for Nikon?
Thanks for your help.
Thanks Ace Ventura. Is there a certain logic to the way Nikon names their models?
