I just picked up a Canon Rebel XTi body with a 50mm f/1.8 lens and I'm very excited about it. I go tthe body with a 50mm fixed lens to start out with. I will look into getting a better lens later on.
Is anybody else using a DSLR? What are u using and with what lens' etc...

oh BTW: Selling my Canon Powershot S50. Its a 5.0mp P&S but its a pretty powerful P&S you can see the shots I've taken with it on last years calendar (Tina's car) and some other shots I can provide. I'm selling it for $125; comes with card and all cables etc.

Camera seems to have sold on ebay within an hour of posting it so unless I dont get paid its sold.

For 800 I would get the XTI. It's a good entry level SLR, with a lot of nice features. There are things it doesn't have that the 30D does, but it also has things that the 30D doesn't. Such as the dust remover. It vibrates the mirror on shutdown and startup to eliminate any accumulated dust.

Higher megapixel just means you can blow the pictures up more. While the XTI has higher MP, the 30D will have higher quality photos on higher ISOs (less noise).

Buying a body-only is only advantageous if you know what lenses you want and don't want the kit lens. I bought a body-only XTI because the kit lens is not of the highest quality. I bought a 50mm 1.8 instead. It's a cheap, but sharp and versatile lens. I also have a 100mm macro and a 28-105 zoom. All of which are Canon.

You can't go wrong with an XTi. I prefer the Canon lens's over the Nikons.
