Which of these cameras would u most recommend??...?

Question

Last time I posted a question about the Nikon D40 i got recommendations for two other cameras as well (for photography purposes). Now i need just a little bit more help, and it will be my last question! :) out of the three which would u say is better, but for a good price (im an amateur lol): the Nikon D50, Nikon D40 or the Canon Rebel XT...? thanx guys!

Answer 1

D 40 is a scaled down model, which you will overgrow soon, even if you are an amateur at the moment. D 50 is a good, full bodied model, has 6.1 mp, accepts SD card and has good color reproduction. Canon Rebel is smaller and lighter (heavy or light - it is personal preference), has almost similar but a shade better color reproduction, has a faster lens and has better features. Among the 3 you mentioned, my list is (i) Canon and (ii) D 50.

Answer 2

I like the Canon XT. If you can swing the extra $, go up to the XTi. In the long run, you'll be glad you did.

I don't like the D40 because of lense selection and I think you can do better than the D50 in terms of price for what you're getting. (i.e. you're better off getting an older Canon 300D off of ebay for around $250-400).)

Answer 3

I don't have any experience with the D40 or Rebel, but I am very happy with my D50. I've had it a little over a year, and have yet to have any problems with it.

Answer 4

For an amateur and the price, look at the Canon XT very seriously, 8 MegPix, then there is the XTi which is 10. This will give you clarity when you zoom in or crop on editing that is fantastic. I have both and would recommend them to anyone. Canon is far ahead of the other in technology vs price.

Answer 5

Nikon D50 Nikon just came out with a D40X a D40 with 10.2 MP.

Answer 6

Nikon D50, because the NikonD40's specifiction isn't as good as 50 and the price doesnt change that much.
