What Camera? Help!

Hey guys, Havent posted here for a while but could really do with some advice.

I am going to get myself a Digital SLR this month - But i really cant choose what camera to go for,

Basically it has come down to two:

The Nikon D40X and the Cannon EOS 400D

both of them have their ups and downs. The D40x has a wider ISO range smaller body and apperntly a better lens out of the box.

the Cannon has a good DOF and macro modes and i have used one before and quite liked it. The lens isnt any thing special.

I am not going to be buying a new lens to start with, so i would like something fairly decent which makes me want to go with the nikon but it doesnt have an AF motor so some lenses cant be used on it.

Its really doing my head in.

Can any one help point me in the right direction?

Cheers.

EDIT: Just thought i would ask if there are any other makes of camera that you guys recomend? I ve got a few Pentax lesnes from a old film slr which are quite expensive. I know there are a few problems with using old lenses on new cameras but if there is a pentax dslr that is good i might go for that just so try out the lesnes.
