Im debating between a Canon Rebel XTI or XSi and Nikon D80. Which one would you prefer or is there one a bit better than the two, so far im leaning towards the D80 but any suggestion would be considered...thanks

 

NIKON FTW!

 

what is the reason you're leaning more toward the D80?

what feels best in your hand?

tried looking at consumer reports?

 

have you ever owned a dslr before? Just saying, because TYPICALLY, the d40 or d40x are normally more suited for beginners.

 

I have an XTi and like it. Plus, with the release of the XSi out, their prices have plummeted.

 

Get a used Rebel XT to start with...you can find one with lens for 350 or less.

Good luck.

 

ive owned a cheap point and shoot camera and just want to upgrade....if im gonna spend money i wanna get something where i dont have to upgrade for a long time u know?......i just want to get expereinced photographers or hobbiers opinions as to what they'd prefer cause I dont want to spend money on something thats not suitable for what im looking for....I thought about the d40's but a friend of mine an upgrade such as da D80 but another told me sti is better

 

yeah ive been looking for XTIs i might look at D80'S in stores and go from there

 

yo frank....wat type was your DSLR? nikon? U should sell me urs..lol

 

if you're beginning you don't need to spend as much money for a Nikon D80. Stick with either a d40 or the canon xt. They both can be had used for about $350. The d40 NEW with lens is still $500.
