I don't remember where I read that stuff about the Nikon D40x, but the reviewer made a point to call out that it takes a special type or size lens other than the rest of the Nikon line.


DPReview: D40X
Read the 'Cons' under conclusions for a description of the AF "issue".

So what's wrong with Olympus? Do they suck?


I've never used the Oly... but in the world of SLRs, the main two are Canon and Nikon. There are just so many bodies, lenses, etc. for these systems you can't really go wrong. If you buy lenses for the Rebel XTi and decide you want to upgrade to a $8k 1-Series, the lenses will work.
