if i get the xt over the xti will there be any major differences that i would be missing out on?  and do u think it would be smarter to get the xt cause its cheaper so i can save money for lenses, or the more expensive 20d?

thanks

dude i own the Nikon D50 and its such an ill cam, but if you wanna do some serious sequences then the D50 is not the best choice. 3fps isnt that good. the rebel xti has like 10fps but like some guys said, it dosent really feel good in your hands and also nikons are made of steel. i droped my D50 off the chairlift at probly a 30 ft drop and its still in good shape so hope this helped bra.

ok so im gonna hijack this thread so i need a new lens should i save and buy the f/2.8 70-200 m lens or get a wide angle for close up pics i usually get pretty close inless im at a event like the sea otter classic and stuff like that i have a canon xti

IMHO i would say get the 70-200 because at f2.8 that's going to be a great lens, with a great range that will allow you to do so much, that being said this should only be the case if you have a kit lens as the kit lens will support you lower part of your range and has a decent angle. A wide angle can be left till later. I myself have done it in this order and have found the range very beneficial, whatever your decision is, good luck and you will be pleases either way/
