I currently own a Canon Powershot S80 and am planning on upgrading to a dSLR. I am looking into getting either a Nikon D40 or a Canon Rebel Xt. I’m leaning towards the D40 because it feels better in my hand, has a larger lcd, and is cheaper. However, the Canon Rebel Xt, based on the reviews I’ve read, supposedly produces better images. Will I even see a major difference by upgrading from my point and shoot camera (my canon s80 is an 8 mp point and shoot)? Will I see a decrease in quality going to a 6mp slr (the nikon d40) from an 8mp point and shoot?
