Nikon D300 vs Canon EOS 40D: A Hands-On Workout

Although the technology-showcase D300 ($1800) costs 50 percent more than the EOS 40D ($1200), we found them to be more evenly matched than we expected.

While mid-priced DSLRs from competing manufacturers may excel in different ways, these semi-pro models from Canon and Nikon give you a winning combination of speed, image quality, extensive lens/accessory systems, and an upgrade path to their top-drawer professional brethren.

Of course, pitting the two against each other isn't entirely fair, since the technology-showcase D300 ($1800), a junior version of Nikon's tour-de-force flagship D3, costs 50 percent more than the EOS 40D ($1200), which has evolved from humbler "prosumer" models. Still, we found them to be more evenly matched than we expected, based on our evaluations in the key areas detailed below.
