Verdict
Pick the Nikon D40X if budget is your top priority—its nearly identical specs and much lower price make it the clear value choice. The Canon EOS 1000D stays the better option if you prefer a slightly newer model (2008 vs. 2007) and are willing to pay extra for the marginal age difference. Both are equally matched in performance, so the decision hinges solely on price and release year.
