Which is better?
The D40 is a much better camera period. There is not a point and shoot out there that can beat a DSLR in terms of image quality. This is because DSLR’s have much better optics, much larger sensors, full manual control, better faster processors, faster auto focus, and no shutter lag to name just a few things.
The P90 may have more features but it is a point and shoot and suffers from all the drawbacks of them. These include tiny sensors. Which deliver high noise and less detail. The lens may be a 20x zoom but it no way compares to a high quality SLR lens. There is a reason good SLR lenses can easily cost triple what the P90 costs. Also all point and shoots cameras sufferer from shutter lag. This is the time it takes to actually take the picture after you press the shutter release. Shutter lag can vary from maybe a quarter of second to several seconds but they all have it to one degree or another. DSLR’s do not really have this problem. The shutter lag of DSLR’s is measured in milliseconds. It is almost instantaneous.
Now that is not to say that the P90 may not be a better camera for you. It is a great point and shoot camera. If you want something that is easy to use and offers you the features that you want then it may be the best choice for you. If on the other hand you are willing to learn how to use an SLR effectively then you will notice how much better an SLR can be.
