I've had two lower end nikons break on me. I bought the first digital rebel whn it came out, it still works great. Hope that helps some.

I say canon
They have a larger lenses range and for the price, it's a lot better than de D50

A freind has the rebel xti. It is a really good camera, easy to use takes good pictures. The lens it comes with isnt very good, and if your filming at night then you will need another flash or source of light, the little one it comes with is no good for motion shots at night.

Canon. all the way. check my photos www.steezula.com CANON 30D. Nikons are great but not usually found in the action world.

both are good cameras. i got a d50 and it works well and takes nice photos. you generally see canon's for sports photos, but at the consumer level, both will work take comporable photos

Both are sick cameras, the D50 is what I have and it is a sick camera, I also looked at XTs and they were my next choice, both really good cameras

d200 from what i've herd is an excellent camera but its an extra 1000 bucks more than the xt. the d200 is useless unless you are doing some serious camera shootin you won't need
