Choosing an SLR: Nikon D50/D40 or Canon Digital Rebel XT

Monday, January 22

Calling all readers. I need your advice.

I want to buy a SLR EOS Digital camera and am stuck between two brands/models.

Nikon D50 or Canon Digital Rebel


I don't know too much about the D50 but It has gotten some good reviews and for the price, seems very comparable to the Digital Rebel XT.

I have good luck using our Canon Digital Rebel at work, but I have two good friends that both use Nikon. They both have given me their input and that input says go with either because the are both good for what I want to use it for: Action shots of dogs, weather, yard shots, and some nature and traveling. All of the websites I have perused, CNET, PriceGrabber.com, DPREVIEW- offers side-by-side comparisons of all major camera brands, I love this site. And, even Consumer Reports, all present useful data and informative reviews, but I am still up in the air and think some personal references would be helpful.

Budget: $700
Uses: Catching dogs in the act of play, mischief, and being cute. SNOW. Yard photos. Nature photos. Product shots.

Any info on Nikon or Canon Rebels, would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Okay, I don't know anything about SLR. Go to Ask Metafilter, an excellent site where smart people answer tons of questions about everything I know nothing about.

This page http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/29076 in particular has lots of comments from people about SLR research. Checking the tags on the site will bring you to even more, much more than you probably want.
