What should I buy D50 or Canon 350D
I have been thinking of buying DSLR for some time now. I have narrowed down
my search to two SLR that I like. The Nikon D50 and the Canon 350D. Which do you think I should go for and why? What do you like or dislike about the camera, if you are a user? |

Like loudspeaker buying advice: just listen to them and buy the ones you like. Cop-out! Buy the Canon. (Unless you have Nikon lenses, duh..) Generally, Canon seems to have the lead in digital photography today. K.S. |

What do you like or dislike about the camera, if you are a user? These were the 2 i was considering, but they both had very basic kit lenses, so I paid a bit extra and got a d70s which had a much better kit lens. |

D50 body with the 18-70 lens. Are you using the said combination Yes. I bought the body from Ritz because B&H didn't have it then, and the import version of the 18-70 lens (around $260, I think) from B&H. Total cost was roughly $817 plus shipping, about $100 less than the B&H price for the D70s with the kit lens). My other lenses are the VR 105mm macro and a 50mm f/1.8 (both US lenses with the 5 year warranty). I've played with a neighbor's 18-200 -- it's a nice lens, too, but extends out a long way. I got the f/1.8 lens for the price difference between the two cameras. If the $100 difference isn't significant to you, then I'd go with the D70s for the possibility of wired shutter release, depth of field preview, and a bit more ease in setting shutter and aperture with two different control wheels. This is a crop from a shot with the 18-70 at 70 mm: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4400723 and another: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?p...400718&size=lg The f/1.8 and the VR macro *are* sharper: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4592832 for the macro (cropped). http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4408558 for the f/1.8 (cropped). If you really want to go cheap and good, the D50 with the 50mm f1.8 is quite nice, too. -- Rebecca Ore |
