Need help with what camera to buy! A Canon?
Powershot SX10-IS or a Nikon D40. I have a Minolta SRT100 that I love to shoot and I have 2 lenses for it. I also have a point and shoot Kodak that I am outgrowing. I still love taking film photos with the film SLR. I have read reviews on both cameras and I like what each has to offer. I am not worried about the auto focus so much on the D40- as I seem to take good shots with my old SLR. But that powershot has a lot of nice features without having to lug around a bunch of lenses. I am just not sure and would like the opinions of the photo bunch here! Thank you! I am not a professional at all- I just enjoy photography and really enjoy it. I want to take better photos and I love the art of it.

There is never any comparison between any point and shoot and a DSLR. The advantages of the DSLR would take an hour to list, but be assured, no point and shoot is in the same league. The Nikon D40 is a very good camera for the price, though you can do better than the kit lens, but even that is far superior to the optics in the Powershot. By the way, Canons are great, I am not saying that. I am just saying between your two choices, there really is no choice, definitely go for the Nikon D40.
