Canon VS Nikon - Canon XSi Or Nikon D3000
Canon's Rebel XSi (450D) is already on the market and awaiting the arrival of its new Nikon nemesis. Which one will dominate?
The Nikon/Canon debate will not abate with the coming of the new D3000. Nikon proponents will line up on the Nikon side while Canon enthusiasts will take their stance on the other side of the line. It's kind of like the Republicans vs Democrats or the Auburn War Eagles vs the Alabama Crimson Tide. You pick your favorite rivalry. Your side will be better no matter what.
My money is on both to be winners. If you buy a Canon Rebel XSi or a Nikon D3000 you will be getting an awesome piece of photographic equipment. The technology keeps improving and the price continues to either stay the same or come down a bit with each new entry level DSLR.
Why choose to compare the new Nikon to the Rebel XSi instead of the newer T1i? Very simple - it's because the Nikon does not have video (and neither does the XSi) but the Rebel T1i does have video. Additionally, the new Nikon is priced below the T1i, more in the price range of the Rebel XSi.
A quick note about the features of the Nikon D3000. The sensor has been increased to a respectable 10 megapixels compared to the 6 megapixel D40, a real plus for new camera buyers. According to the early reviews, the features that made the D40 and D60 so popular have been retained or improved.
If you are ready to make a camera purchase in the entry level DSLR category, you cannot go wrong with either the Canon XSi or Nikon D3000. The Canon VS Nikon debate will not end with this new release, but whether you are on the Canon side or the Nikon side, you will be a winner.

What r the features lacked in Nikon D50 when compare it to Nikon D70s?
As an ameture to SLR, can I prefer D50 instead of D70s? If so, what are all the features I may feel lacked in D50? If I buy D50 once, I'm not looking to upgrade it so early. Please suggest me.
there's a great summary on this here - http://www.shutterbug.com/equipmentreviews/amateur_digital_slrs/1205nikon/
As an owner of a D70, I'd say there isn't a lot of difference for 95% of the time. For taking the kind of pictures most of us take most of the time, the D50 is more than up for the job. Easier controls to do the really fancy things like bracketing is no great loss. I'd pick both up in a camera shop and play around with them, see which one you are happier holding. As with all cameras, feature list means nothing if you're not happy and relaxed with the camera in your hands. A lot of people have said the D50 kit lens - 18-55mm(?) or so isn't that great, the one that comews with the D70 - the 18-70 is a lovely lens, maybe you should consider getting the D50 with the 18-70 lens. Best of luck.
