There's a good sale this weekend and I can get a Sony Alpha 200 kit for less than the Nikon D40 kit. I've read a bunch of reviews on both and it seems that they're pretty close to on par. Anyone have any thoughts on either model? Is there a different route to go?

I have a Canon xTi, and I chose the Canon over the Nikon basically because it just felt better to me. Kinda like when you are buying a car, and you just "know" that's the car for you. Or when you meet that girl that you know is the one. Sometimes you just know.
I know that Canon makes the newer xSi now, but do they make an xS? If so, the Canon equivalent to the D40 is the Canon Rebel xT (old model, cheaper price if you can find one, but same functionality) and you should check it out. I will bring my xTi to the battle of CP teams for you to play with if you like.
