Nikon D40 vs. Canon Digital Rebel XT: Shutter Response.. which is faster ?I am a new photographer in the market to buy a digital slr camera, and I am stuck between the Nikon D40 and the Canon Digital Rebel XT. My main concern is which camera has fater shutter reponse, the DR, or the D40.
If anyone else has any other suggestions (camera wise), they would be much appreciated as well. I aml okoing to buy a camera that is around $ 500 or $ 600, no higher. Thanks!

Both the Nikon and the Canon have a relatively similar shutter response, how ever if you are new to Dslrs then i can promise you that it will seem almost instant compared to can compact camera
As a first Dslr, I would recommend neither of those. For just under $ 600 you can get the Rebel xti (the next model on from the xt), an excellent model to start with that is much quicker at almost everything than both the Nikon and the Canon.

there are a few factors that effect 'shutter response'
-the brightness or speed of the lens
-the speed of the AF motor
-focal length in use (wide angles focus faster than teles)
-things like auotmated flash etc
Canon utilise the ultasonic motor in the stock lens with the rebel XT, pretty fast for a consumer lens. I would say faster than the nikon.
If you really need speed then you will need to buy a brighter lens, something with a brighter maximum aperture, probably a constant f2.8 or faster prime lens. If you set the camera to manual focus then you will save a few fractions of a second, but may lose focus, this is less of an issue at wide angles.
Avoid using the flash (i.e set programme mode rather than auto) as this will take time to pop up, charge, flash for red-eye and metering then fire fully.
Look at either the d40x or the canon XTi, both are currently being replaced, so there should be some good prices, and both are more recent and higher resolution than the two models you mention.
I am absolutley a canonman,and there will be other respondents who are absolutley nikon men, the important thing is to take my practical advice about settings & lenses, go into a shop and try both brands out, one will stick out from the way it feels in the hand. It's a personal thing. Both are good brands (except canon which is a great brand)
