In the DSLRs it gets a little more complicated...
1. Canon EOS 450D - with the IS 55mm Kit lens
2. Canon EOS 400D - with the same IS kit lens from the 450
3. Nikon D60 - with its 55mm kit lens
4. Nikon D40X - With the D60's Kit lens!
And the mother of all Q's - what ZOOM lens to buy/use along with this... without breaking my back - every which way!!
Pro's/Con's ... and CONs...

Guruz!!.. Help here pls.. Can you help me pick the good combination here - Money no object limited to 10- 20K here and there.
I am not likely to change this for some time - other than lenses that is.
Any views on the 450D?
One thing that is on my mind is aftersales service - another Tbhpians Panasonic prosumer packed up (water fell on it) and they have not been able to repair it at all!. In fact their Delhi HO claims it has to be sent to the US for repair!
These are no longer mechanical or electro-mechanical gadgets - with so much electronics I would be happier if they had reliable and comprehensive service facilities right here in India! Am I right in assuming maybe this is where Nikon and Canon score in India as of now??
