I can't comment on the Nikon - but having been a 40D owner since launch - I can't say a bad word against it...
I recently used it to take some studio shots using an old old old studio lighting kit. It was so easy to set exposure, and the live view was a great great help!
I won't be changing for a while I'm sure

Think I've decided on a Canon 40D with EF-S 17-85mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM
Can get the body and lens together for £830. £100 cashback on body and £40 cashback on the lens. With a decided budget of £700 - I think It's a good deal at £690.

Nice choice you will be suprised at the difference a higher spec camera can do.

I'll have to learn the controls all over again though
but that's part of the fun.

Great choice - that's a far better lens to get started with than the stock Canon zoom.... When will you get it?

I thought your Nikon telephoto was a 70-300mm and suitable for digital cameras

That Nikon lens was originally mine, Dawn sold it for me as I had just bought the same lens again but the VR version. It was the 70-300mm lens not a 75-300mm.
