Nikon D80 versus the Canon 400D / Rebel XTi

After reading a few reviews on the two cameras, I have to admit it's a close contests. Judging by the recent review by Dcview.com, it makes the same conclusion.

Canon has a slightly better image quality with better value for money. Nikon has more a better build, features, ergonomics and flash performance.

Here what they say:

"If you want the highest image quality, user friendly operation and sensor cleaning the Canon EOS Rebel XTi is your camera. In addition the price is $200 lower than of the D80. The EOS Rebel XTi comes standard with good RAW-software, which is optional for the D80 at extra cost. In case you want a camera with a robust body, extra features and better flash performance, the Nikon D80 is a very good choice. But, as said before, none of these two cameras will disappoint their user."
