Need advice

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital.slr-systems (More info?)

I am finally looking to buy a good digital camera which I think are getting
better and finally with good resolution, I am looking at the new Canon rebel
Xt vs Nikon D50. I want an slr because I can buy different lenses which
would really enhance my range of pictures.

Would like you opinion guys.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the advice and links, I have seen all the comparison and I find
the Canon much whiter and better focus, resolution and clarity when doing
close up..which I love to do in nature, I will take your advice and probably
find a store and rent each one if I can (d50 and rebel xt) and try it to get
the feel. It does come down to personal preference, but I also like to read
your ideas and comparison.

Thanks again

Thanks Jook. And I'd say that even if you weren't my house guest, using
my wireless connection!

Yes, I asked him to post about his choice of the D50, just to prove that
the ACZs are full of it!

Be it good or bad, the Nikon will accept almost every lens they've ever made
giving you a very wide selection to choose from. Not all are autofocus.
Not all will work with the metering. And some pre AI lenses will need to be
modified. But that makes for a lot of lenses to choose from. I use some
older lenses with my D70 and don't feel like I'm missing all that much.

As far as the Nikon vs. the Canon debate, I'm not going to get into a
pissing match with the Canon people here.
