im looking at the nikon d80 and the rebel xti 10.1 megapixel.
newegg has it for 650 for the body only and i can get a nice lense, but what is better out of those 2... or in that price range.
they both have great reviews and features, and both have differences that make them better over the other... but which in your expriences (if any) would be the best. i had a nikon compact camera 5.2 megapixels which was no different the canon with the same features... except canon had black and white... but not really any different with photoshop... and now i have a canon i710, which i love all the little features, but im looking into slr's now.
what are the biggest pros and cons... im doin a lot of research and making a list of every pro/ con for each
thanks!!!
i have been looking at the canon xti 10.1 for a while but i want to give nikon a chance and see what they have.

I think the xti is canon 400D in the Asia Pacific region? If your choice is between the 400D and the Nikon D80, I would say D80.
I have a 300D. I did not upgrade when 350D or 400D came out. Because the size and weight reduced dramatically. While for some people that is a good thing. But a larger heavier camera feels better to me. I have more control over it. Plus, with light camera bodies, when you fit heavier lenses like the L lens I use, the balance seems odd. I just got the 40D and it is a dream! If your choice was between the Nikon D80 and the 40D, I would say 40D in a flash! You should really consider it. It is fantastic in low light and really fast.
Go and try handling the cameras for yourself. Check the default output.

I've been shooting Nikon for almost 40 years, so I freely admint that I tend to have a Nikon bias. Both cameras are good, and either camera will serve you well for several years. Both Canon and Nikon have excellent lenses and both are constantly working to advance the art and science of digital photography.
That said, what I would recommend is that you go down to your local camera store and look at each one. Get a sense of how they feel in your hands. If one has a better feel, go with that one. A lot of time when deciding on a new system, it comes down to the intangibles.
I have always looked at what the pros are shooting, and for the most part they use either Canon or Nikon cameras and lenses. I figure there's a reason. When I decided to move from 35mm to digital, Nikon had the edge because all my older manual focus lenses will work on my D200 body.

Have you thought about Nikon D40x? If you're looking for an entry level dSLR, this is the perfect one. With the money saved with this camera you can buy a nicer lens for it. But if you're thinking about the D80 or XTI, I'd go with the D80. I have a personal preference for Nikon. I really like the button placement and the feel of a Nikon over Canon's dSLRs.

D40x and Rebel XTi are nice cameras. But don't forget about The Sony Alpha A100, Olympus Evolt E410, and my favorite Pentax K10D
All within the same price range $799-$899 with lens (Retail shop)

The D40 isn't a nasty option for an access degree digicam, nonetheless if you have already got Nikon (Nikkor) lenses, I'd endorse that you just get the D50 alternatively, that allows you to be given your Nikkor lenses (don't forget, movie lenses have a cropping component of one million.five; that suggests it's going to go away out approximately one million.five of what you notice by way of the viewfinder within the ensuing pics; in different phrases, for those who use a 50mm lens, 50 x one million.five equals seventy five, so it might crop the scene as although it have been a 75mm lens; "DX" lenses are designed FOR virtual cameras so they don't have that cropping end result)

Visit your local real camera store if it carries both cameras. By real camera store I mean one that only sells cameras - not 10,001 other things and cameras. Handle both cameras and see which one feels the best to you. Since the features and benefits of both are comparable it may come down to the ergonomics of design.You won't go wrong with either one IMO.
