Cameras: Please HELP me Decide between a Nikon d50 and a Canon XTi
Hey all! I know some of you have been bored to death with my “Should I buy a DSLR or shouldn’t I?” dilemma. It’s been about two months now. But I promise we’ve almost reached the end.
But, it would be nice if anybody reading this would be willing to chime in with some advice. Please? Please?
I’ve been without my Canon S400 as it is being repaired by Canon. In its absence I’ve been craving a new camera. If I had it with me I could probably ignore the new toys greediness.
My sister has a Nikon Coolpix 7900 and takes food and travel pictures with it. She likes her camera but now feels the limitations. I’ve been on a campaign to get her to get a DSLR (with which I can play) as I didn’t use my camera much or enough and am probably not ready for a DSLR and am scared I would be wasting money. I don’t think she would be. So, I spent the last few months telling her why she needed a DSLR every time she said something…you know I nagged. (My last campaign for her to get an apple laptop…well that resulted in my having a powerbook…*sigh*)
She finally decided yes! DSLR!
And I’ve been doing research because she hasn’t had time (I shouldn’t have time either…like now I should be working).
I also told her if we were both to get DSLRs we should probably consider getting the same brand so we can switch lenses and stuff if we ever want to (we don’t live together but we’re only an hour plane ride away and she’s always back home anywayz…and well we’re not serious yet so….it’ll work…(Mom resented the implication that we would be spinster aunts living together with our cats…She says of course Chennette will get married. (It’s nice to note that she’s given up on me!!!))
But then I told her, don’t worry about me. I shouldn’t buy one.
Then tonight I told her…I think I can get a DSLR. I think I will make use of it.
And she said…well we should get the same brand. But it pretty much comes down to the same model, a Nikon d50 (there are still some available on bhphotovideo and amazon i think) or the canon rebel XTi.
