I use my camera's for a wide-variety of situations... almost everything really. Keep in mind, a lot of sports though. To get an idea of what my camera's get used for check out my site--> http://www.pbase.com/wassobe It hasn't been updated in a while, but that's pretty much it. I've narrowed it down to the Canon 350D Rebel XT with the 18-55mm lens, or the Nikon D70 with the 18-70mm lens. Spec-wise, everything is telling me I should go for the Canon. It's Cheaper by a good amount,8 mp's instead of 6, has an iso 100 setting which the Nikon doesn't, and to top it all off, I have very small hand's so the Canon naturally feels much more fit-to-me than the Nikon does. Then again, the Nikon feels much better built, and much more solid, and has an 18-70 rather than an 18-55 lens... but at the same time, it feels awkward in my hands, and is very heavy. All my instincts are telling me to get the Canon, but for some reason, I keep thinking maybe I should go with the Nikon. I'm really just looking for suggestions and advice on which to purchase. I'll be purchasing one within the next 2 weeks most likely. At the moment, I'm leaning towards the Canon, but people at the stores that carry both products have told me to stick with the Nikon. You guy's use these camera's... what do you think? -Andy [/url]
