http://www.digitalreview.ca/cams/Nik...sRebelXT.shtml I'm not sure this review puts to bed anything. The Nikon/Canon zealots will read what they want out of it and come up with different conclusions. I for one have both a D70 and 20D. They are far superior cameras to the original Digital Rebel, and from what I can see, the D70 is still superior to the 350D DRXT. Oh,well, to each her own.

Nice comparison. Thanks for the site. I went from the 10d to the 20d and the big difference I noticed was a much better contrast in the 8mp camera. Not sure if it translates the same w the 300 and 350. However the kit lens on the 70D seems to blow away the Canon version. Had I not already had Canon lenses a couple years ago I may have gone Nikon. For me the whole Nikon vs Canon thing is like eating a steak with a sterling silver vs a silver-plated one....it's the steak (ie the image) that counts. |

Reading the first page the feature set has the slight edge for nikon in terms of shear number of advantages over the other. Whether these features are individually or as a whole enough to sway one over the other is down to personal preference. Overall you would have to be hard pushed to use either of these cameras to their very limit. |

Do you think the inferior (according to some) lens is to save money and bring the price of the camera down? Or, does Nikon just have the edge in this genre of lens? After all, when you buy a "kit," the lens is often as important or more important than the camera, and will make a huge difference when comparing images. A crappy lens on a 16 megapixel camera won't compare favorably to a great lens on a 5 megapixel camera, even if you blow up the prints. |

going onto the second page the kit lens for the nikon is far superior.
Given that the Canon kit lens ends up costing about $80 and that the Nikon kit lens ends up costing about $300 (well, now $200 with the extra rebate), that's exactly what you'd expect, regardless of brand. The argument that the D70 is better than the DR XT because of the kit lens is like saying that one car is better than another because of the tires that come on it. Also, their repeated argument that the D70 can shoot 144 continuous burst frames while the DR XT can only shoot 14 is completely wrong, the D70 gets (depending on your card) about 2.8 FPS for 15 frames, while the DR XT gets about 2.8 FPS for 20 frames - then they both drop to about 1.9 and 1.6, respecively, until you run out of storage. (http://www.dpreview.com/articles/canoneos350d/page6.asp) That sort of exagerated inaccuracy really does make me question either their familiarities with the cameras or intents. (Note that I have no argument as to whether the D70 or 350D is a better camera.) steve |
