New Camera Update
Well, it has been about two weeks or so and I've made some progress on my quest to purchase a new camera (check the previous post entitled "An Honor and a Challenge from March 18th, 2005 for details). The challenge I had made to myself was to pay for this thing completely outside of my current streams of income. So far to date, I have managed to save $460 with the potential of another $70 coming in next week for a total of $530. Woohoo!! I'm almost half way to the goal.For those interested in the particulars of my future new camera, I found a nice site that compares some particulars between the Canon EOS 350D and the Nikon D70. There are some nice photos of the cameras side by side and a great list of head-to-head features. I had considered the D70 at one time but decided I liked the Canon better. You can decide which one you prefer for yourself.
I'm sure there will be more to post on this topic later!

From what I can tell, the Canon is my favorite of the 2, partly for my bias toward Canon to begin with. But when you see the options of the t compared, you arent getting much more from the Nikon, unless it is cheaper. but when it comes to comparing these 2, price probably shouldnt be a factor, they should be close enough. I found it interesting how they have different flash shutter speeds, it must be because of the CCD/CMOS differences.
As far as the shutter speeds go, I think it is a combination of the CCD/CMOS and the Digix processor that the Canon uses. Based on what I have been able to gleen from the different reviews, the processor that Canon uses is the superior of the two.
I have been a little concerned with some of the reviews regardig the grip and general size of the Canon. I have held the two at the store, but I have not been out shooting with either so I don't know how they fare in a practical setting.
I've been trying to keep in mind that most of these reviews are from professional photographers that use this as (one of) the primary tool(s) of their trade. I'm a part-time hobbyist and I think I could get used to either one, particularly since I probably won't have the ability to use the other once it is purchased. Anyway, I'm still focused on attaining the Canon and I look forward to shooting with it.
