The two cameras are evenly matched. Let's take a closer look.</P>
Canon Advantages8 Megapixels<P>This is great for the photographer who wants to make large prints, and a drawback for anyone else.</P><P>It's a drawback because 8 megapixel files take up a lot of room on hard drives, and require powerful computers to review and edit.</P><P>You never want to send an 8 megapixel file via e-mail to a friend.</P><P>If you want to print at 20x30, then the Canon's 8 megapixels are a selling point over the Nikon's 6.</P>Black and White Photos <P>You can set the Canon 350D Rebel XT so that it takes photos in black and white, just like the Minolta Maxxum 5D.</P><P>Even if you don't think of yourself as a black and white photographer, this feature lets you experiment with it while getting instant feedback about your results.</P><P>The Nikon D50 only takes photos in color.</P><P>You can use a computer program to change any color photo into black and white, but the results won't be the same.</P><P>For black and white enthusiasts, there is no contest between the Canon 350D vs the Nikon D50. The Canon wins.</P>Small and Light<P>You want a portable SLR? The 350D is exactly that.</P><P>It is smaller and lighter than the Nikon D50, making it a better option for the photographer on the go.</P><P>The 350D compresses a lot of the camera controls to achieve this, which doesn't make it ideal for the large-hand crowd.</P>
Nikon AdvantagesLarge LCD<P>Since the Rebel XT is so compact, the LCD is reduced in size: only 1.8".</P><P>It may not seem to you like there is a huge difference between 1.8" and 2.0" but there is when you see the cameras side-by-side.</P><P>The Nikon's LCD is also incredibly colorful and bright, making it quite easy to see even in bright sunlight.</P><P>This LCD makes it very easy to review photos right after you take them.</P>Comfortable Grip <P>One of the Canon's strengths is also it's weakness.</P><P>The camera is so compact, that it makes it hard to hold. You really have to curl your fingers to hold onto it.</P><P>Since the Nikon D50 is larger, the camera grip is more comfortable.</P><P>While this makes no difference at all if you take photos for 30 seconds and then put the camera down, it really helps when taking photos for an extended period of time.</P>
Price<P>If you don't need the extra 2 megapixels that the Canon offers, you shouldn't pay for them.</P><P>To be clear, it's about $100 a megapixel.</P><P>The Nikon D50 camera body retails for about $600, while the Canon comes in at $800.</P>Summary<P>We just covered a lot of gound comparing the Canon 350D vs the Nikon D50.</P><P>I'll summarize the key differences again here:</P>If you want to make huge prints, the 350D is the way to go You can carry the 350D everywhere - great for travel photographers The 350D can take photos in black and white while the Nikon D50 can't The Nikon is easier to user for long periods of time The D50 has a larger LCD than the 350D, making it easier to review photos and change menu settings
