That is a hard one.

Personally I would choose the D40 because I cant stand the feel of the 350D in my hand. But that is entirely subjective.

As far as other options go..

Autofocus - 350 D wins with 7 point vs D40 3 point.
LCD - Nikon wins with 2.5inch vs Canon 1.8 inch (a biggy for me)
FPS - Canon wins with 1.8 vs Nikon 1.5
Resolution - Canon wins with 8mp vs Nikons 6mp
Storage Format - CF with Canon and SD with Nikon. Personally I love CF so that is a boon for the Canon in my book (laments over his D40x only having SD)
Metering - supposedly the Nikon has better meetering.

Those are the only spec differences I can see. As to image quality read HERE to see comparison shots. Feel of the camera. You need to go to a store. Good ole Target' has both of them on display. Just dont bother asking the people who work there anything about them.

sheesh.. I was typing you impatient wench!
