I am looking for an entry level DSLR. Planning to upgrade from my point-&-shoot (ixus) to a DSLR. I know quite well about the Canon EOS 400D. Are there any other DSLRs that I should look at. Is NIKON D80 a direct competitor of 400D? Or is there another entry level camera in nikon? Any other brand?
In terms of price difference I think Nikons are cheaper than canon. I just want one for personal use and price would be an important factor.
