Digital SLR help

After a lot of thought we are upgrading to a digital SLR.

Have been looking at the Nikon D50 - anyone got one? Any comments?

I've never had a Nikon before, our old SLR from our pre digi days was a cannon. I was very happy with it but it would be a lot more for a cannon digi slr and the lens dh wants.

I have the Nikon D50 Ruth and it is Fabulous! Can't praise it enough. Very easy to use in auto and it takes amazing pictures. Let me know if you want any examples

I have a nikon automaitc zoom camera and I love it!

Am looking to get an SLR myself and was torn between the canon and nikon. I tried them both out and I have diddy hands and the nikon it too wide/much of a stretch for me to feel comforatble.

Soooooo when I can afford one I am going to get the Canon as it is that bit slimmer. But have heard excellent reports on that too!

You can use your old canon lenses with the new digital , you know

I have the Canon EOS D300 and it is fabulous. you can use any canon eos lenses with it. I had problems using a Sigma lens which fit my film canon eos but would lock up the 'shutter' on the digital slr. They may have fixed the problem since I got my camera (Christmas 2004) though.
