Yes
Should I sell my D50 to buy a Canon 400D? :bang:
 
It depends how much cash youve tied up in your current gear. If your going to loss a lot of money switching systems dont... I suppose it all comes down to which system and accessories suit your needs best.
 
I only have 1 lens, Sigma 28-200mm which I would be selling with the D50, if I decide to sell, so accessory wise I wouldn't lose any money. Cheers for the responses guys :)

This man speak sense.

It would help to know your financial situation, and what you feel you're not getting out of your Nikon, and what you think the Canon would offer you :)
 
I can get the money needed to buy a 400D, after selling my D50..And I don't know about the second question, which is why I posted this thread.
 
The only really significant difference between the two brands is that Nikon are committed to their 1.5X crop format across their whole range and have no intention of going any larger, while Canon offer 1.6X, 1.3X and full frame, with the latter coming down fast in price and sure to be going 'mainstream' before too long. If full frame is a serious consideration for you in the future, then it would make sense to change to Canon but you would also need to start choosing your lenses carefully to get the best out of full frame, and it means expensive glass!

Apart from that you're not going to see any significant difference in your results whether it's a Nikon or a Canon. ;)

The answer I was looking for! Thanks very much everyone :)
 
Apart from the differences I've mentioned Nath, it just comes down to personal preference in the handling stakes, which is why it's really important to go and play with your choices and see what suits you. Some cameras just feel 'right' as soon as you pick 'em up.
 
I think they imbue the more expensive ones with magical "I want it now" dust. Powerless to resist you see.
