You guessed correctly! How did you know
I also got a 18-70 because I figured a 50mm wouldn't be sufficient. Before that I had another go with the Canon 40D but I just couldn't get past the slightly tacky feel of it. I'm sure the IQ would've been near indistinguishable from the D300 but various
physical things didn't seem right about it, eg screen wasn't as nice, buttons weren't as tactile, body didn't feel as solid, etc... All in all it didn't seem as well-polished as the D300. I probably would've took a D80 over the 40D just on the basis of the build. Yes, the handling matters that much to me; I'm that shallow.
