Talking New Camera for X-mas, Woot Woot!!!

Going to pick this up on Black Friday at Ritz. Includes a free sweat shirt of some sort, a photo printer, and a $50 gift card for Ritz all for $550.

Camera comes with a lens and everything.

Nikon D50:

hey, a deal is a deal. i can't let this one slide through my hands especially since I'm only going to be paying for $200 of it. I originally wanted the new Rebel but my manager used to work at Ritz and she says Nikon's are actually the best and I was getting a hell of a deal.

Six, one, half a dozen. If you saw the pics taken with the Nikon, youd be impressed with those too. Its not all about the camera, it has a LOT to do with who is USING the camera. Either one will take magnificent pics.

she's an idiot, there is no best. it's all personal preference as to where you like the buttons and so on and what features you would trade off.

I completely agree. I love my canon dslr because I'm used to it and it takes awesome quality pics, but I would never talk down something like a nikon. they are both very comparable cameras and very capable performers.

with that being said, Canon > *

Although your thread was a link to Honda stuff I spent a good half hour just looking at the pics. It is an art to taking great pics, even w/a good digital.

Wife has the Canon EOS Rebel 6.1mp digital and I love it! Good Luck.

last i heard she's using the same camera as me. canon digital rebel xt. I have no idea what you're talking about when you say "blow out the highlights". rebel xt's are awesome cameras and take the same quality pictures as the more expensive canons. the only difference is that the more expensive cameras have more expensive features such as instead of taking pictures at 8 frames per second, some can take them at 14 frames per second or even faster. not worth spending an extra couple thousand dollars in my opinion, but some professional photographers need those features. not me.


and shad0ws, the d50 is an awesome camera. have fun with it!
