Okay so I've been saving up for a new camera.
I've been looking specifically at DSLR's,and I don't want to spend more than $500. I need some help picking one out,I have two in mind : Nikon D40  Digital Rebel XT  I was also thinking about the Cyber-shot® DSC-H50/B:  BUT I'm not so sure it's what I want,because it's mostly made for a high optical zoom,which I don't really need. So,if you have any reviews, resources, or suggestions to help guide me in which camera I should buy, please do tell!  tanks. |

Kryo will advise you to get the XT over the D40.

i hate the feel of the rebel. it's so damn small in my hands, but i guess if you're a chick or a dude with small hands it might feel better.

Yeah I like the feel of the Nikons over the Canons, but I mean, apparently most people are able to live with that.

I really like the Nikon D40,and I really want to test it out.
I've played with the Canon Rebel before,and I loved it. But then the Nikon has all that really cool in-camera editing stuff! Oh & I have a question, do the mega pixels of the two cameras make a difference, or does it not? I think it does,but I'm not extra-smart in DSLR's,so yeaah. |

6 megapixels is already enough to print a movie poster.
In otherwords, naw, the megapixels don't matter. It's the sensor you'll probably want to be concerned with, and Nikon and Canon both got great sensors. |

ah,I see.
I'm still trying to pick one though. I think the Rebel has a really good price,and it has 8.2 mega pixels but then again that doesn't really matter. x___x |
