Nikon D50 or Canon 350D?

I have shot and tried both the D50 and the 350xt. The D50 is a great camera yield good results out of the camera, 6mp ccd has good quality. Only things I disliked about the D50 is that the pictures seemed to be a bit aggresive, colors didn't look natural just too overexposed. I prefered the more neutral and more natural looking pictures of the 350xt, the noise on the xt is better above iso 800. One thing I hate about the 350xt is the feel of it, a bit cheap and controls are decent not great. I know MP don't mean much but i feel like it's 2006 and I find that 6mp is not adequate, sure it's plenty but it's a bit sad when your friend next to you has a point and shoot and wips out a 8-10mp compact it also lacks mirror lockup. My boss just bought a nikon D200 and that's what I call a camera but it's a bit beyond budget. If you are looking pricewise the D50 and the 350xt cost similar, the 350xt can be found for $674 kit after $100 Mail in rebate. From the way you speak it sounds like you like the D50, if thats what you can affort i would go for that, personally if I could affort to I would stretch budget to a 20D (getting cheaper) or 30D. Good luck and tell me what you decided on. By the way they sell a battery grip for the 350xt wich makes it a bit more comfortable.
