I fucking love my digital rebel XT. Great camera. (allthough its my first camera of its calibre so im not speaking from experience with the nikons)

I miss the old non-digital manual cameras of days gone by.

Though times have changed and technology offers some really neat options.

There is something very fulfilling about capturing that photo with perfect composition, just the right lighting and a good use of positive and negative space.

Oh the old Fish Eye lens was fun too.

The D50 (or D70 better) and the digital rebel are nice consumer SLR's. Stick with whichever brand you already own glass for, because that's where the money starts to add up.

If you're starting with nothing and looking for a good digital SLR, go with Canon. I've been a Nikon shooter since I started, but Canon has a definite edge in the digital SLR arena. If cost is not an issue, get a Canon 5D ($3200, plus lenses) and you'll be very happy. Unless you're a sports shooter (or you're shooting a girl who fucks at 150mph) you don't need the faster frame rate cameras.

Thanks for the reccomendations guys. I'm only looking to spend around $1,000 on the camera - i'm looking at the digital rebel right now.
