You're going to most likely get biased opinions if you compare brand to brand.

The D70 is a bit outdated i think, but you need to let us know what you're looking for in a camera and what your needs are.

You've already got an XT.. so there's no real need to buy an XTi kit. Pick up the body only for $514 at BuyDig. A big jump is to go for the XSi. You can pre-order the body only at Amazon for $800.

Might as well stick to Canon's if you're comfortable with the menu/button layout and have EF/EF-S lenses. The layout is pretty much standard throughout their line-up except the prosumer line has a dial instead of directional menu buttons.

Are you going to flip your XT for money towards the new cam?

don't got an XT, its a 10D, the first DSLR I think, 6.3 MP. How is the Canon 40D? I can get the Body for 500, not sure bout the lens.

What's your budget?

Canon 50mm 1.8 is nice for walking around. I got the 17-55 IS to replace the kit lens. 10-22mm is nice if you want to go wider. There's already a thread about fisheyes.. just check down on the art/photography main page.

just bought a rebel xti and in need of some lens advice. so i'm gonna shoot mostly snowboarding and portraits/people, reckon that's kinda hard to cover with one lens. still i've planned to buy a sigma 10-20mm hsm wide angle, is that good one? along the kit lens it would be good choice considering my preferences? is there any other good options in that price range? i've also heard positive opinions about sigma 30mm f1,4. would that be considerable?

what do you think? all constructive feedback is welcome. p's

Well for the types of shots you want i wouldn't recommend the 10-20 at all, wouldn't really make much sense if you like portraits and action shots

To address the previous couple posts....

Nikon lenses are generally a bit more expensive than the Canon equivalent.

Anyone looking at the Nikon D40, should take a good look at the Nikon D50 as well. Discontinued now but still widely available used. The D50 will auto-focus non AF-S lenses where the D40 will not....so that includes great primes like the Nikon 50mm 1.8 which is a great, cheap beginner lens. D50's can be had for $300-400 for body only. I just got one as my first DSLR and love it.

oh okay... good.
I'm planning to keep the D40 (always) as a backup camera, but I have my sights on the D200 as an upgrade. Won't be buying it any time soon... but I'm going to need it as I have plans to do large size printing with images in the future.

Thanks a lot Gmas.

You're welcome man. Yeah it's nice to keep a small, light body to be able to walk around with comfortably.

D200's can be had dirt cheap right now (not much more than D80's) with everybody upgrading to the D300.
