its like asking which is better between honda and toyota. 2 very reputable brands putting out very similar products. in the same product level between both companies you will find slight differences, personally i'm a canon guy.

D40 bar none !
Don't even consider the more expensive D-60 or D-80, a waste of money and takes worse pictures !
Canon has a wider lens selection, but Nikon has better optics, it is all in the colours !
Leica and Nikon are on the top of the food chain, but within the last 25 years, Nikon is top !

the lens that comes in the kit should be considered just a starter kit, to let you get the feel of the camera, experiment with its options etc. once you know your camera, upgrade lenses. but be careful, once you start its very very hard to stop!

well, the D40 has a slightly bigger sensor than the XT, it also has a nicer screen, better metering, better white balance presets, a nice picture control thingie. the nikon kit less is a bit wider, since the sensor has a 1.5X crop versus 1.6X for the canon, the lens is also a bit tougher, better made, the autofocus is plenty fast and minimum focussing distance. The handling on the canon is also a bit sluggish and the menu looks like cr@p. The only thing that I feel canon has a bit better, is that the AF will work on all canon lenses ever made(that ha AF capabilities), where as the nikons is only compatible with newer AF-S lenses, that means some of the jewels from nikon, such as some prime lenses will not autofocus.
so me thinks you should go for the D40, but between me and you, I would wait a bit since the D40 is the oldest camera in nikon's book so far, except the F6. Try to get a D60 instead.
or get my hasselblad

youtube vid or lies.
What kind of shooting do you want to do? What kind of support do you want?
Canon has more lenses available, there is a fantastic online community.
Nikon does have better flashes. Their colors are also a little better straight out of the camera.
I had an XT and it was a great camera, the main reason I sold it was to get a bigger sensor as I needed to get wider shots.

Si j'avais à en acheter un, pour avoir manipulé et joué avec les deux, Nikon all the way. Va au magasin, essaye les, manipule les, prend des photos.

make sure your auto focus is set to "on". if thats already the case, set to manual focus and try a few.
