Tryin to decide what dslr to go with.

^^^ interesting. Ive been liking the canon, but Reading the nikon thread on honda tech, and readin the canon, i think im leanin towards nikon by the long shot. Im really liking the D50, cause it is cheap and i can upgrade the lenses. but would the d70 be to much for me being a noob.

If you're wanting a very simplified DSLR with the ability to use all sorts of Nikon lenses check out the D40.

So the D40 is better then the D50 in the fact you can you more lenses? If i were goin to start off with the d50 they sale the kit for 549 at wolfcamera. But over all which is better the 50 or 40.

The D40 is a great starting camera body. It uses all the same lenses available as any other Nikon body. There is no difference in that aspect. In your case I would spend more of the money on the lens than the body itself. Your camera is only as strong as your sharpest lens.
