Answer 1: don't ever try to compare these two brands. That will cause a big fight.
Answer 2: same as above.
Answer 3: D70 (I use D70 )
Answer 4: there is no must-have lens. I have D70 kit lens (18-70mm, = 35mm's 28-105mm) for common use, 50mm 1.8 for indoor portrait or low light shooting, and a 70-300mm (35mm's 105mm-450mm) zoom lens for MM shooting.
Answer 5: S400.

:zany: I don't want to compare N and C either. Just tell you why I chose Nikon D70:

When I was shopping my DSLR, 300D was $1300 with kit lens, D70 was $1800 with kit lens, and 10D was $1800 body only. I went to the camera store, tried them all. I had used Nikon film camema before, so I played D70 a little while and started shooting. It just felt good too. The wight, the color (I love black always), the shutter sound etc. I don't like the look of 300D (very personal), and the power-on time of it was a little slow (improved, davidc?). I knew 10D was a very good camera. But with the same price, I could get D70 with a very good kit lens (cover 28-105, nice!). I also did a research of all these 3 cameras. At last I chose D70. I have been happy ever since.

And, most importantly, try them in store. You can bring your memory card with you. Don't be scared with some result, with DSLR, post process is necessity.

顺便打个广告，我卖数码相机，价格优惠，色友更优，女色友再优

最后优惠到卖断货2个多月，看来我的教授说supply chain dominatation是有道理的。

you are not joking, aren't ya? I am thinking of getting a SLR sometime next year. if you are in this business, why not give you a shot?

 

[Xterra]

I see your point. Thanks! I like Canon better personally. I am not saying any specific ones (like 300D), but more of in general speaking. S400 really impressed me. Although I lean towards Canon, it does not mean I will fo with a Canon SLR, Dikon D70 has been around a long time, and I know many people such as you love it. Thanks for you advice too!

By the way, how you people know what camera I used? are you people cheating?

Overall speaking, D70 and 300D belongs to the same class of DSLR. In many situations, personal taste descides the final choice. Both cameras will generate good pictures. Frankly speaking, I got mine randomly. The major reason I bought Canon is because it is a deal from a guy here. He does not sell Nikon.

I know, I know, this place has been photoed so many times by so many people. But this is my version of it.

This trial is so looooooooooong. We spent about 4 hours in it. Boy, that was brutal...

Algonquin Park... <3>

long trial does reward its conquerorors. A beautiful look out.

It is! I did it in purpose though. For some reason, I like un-balanced beauty. I think it will lose dynamic feel of its, if we rotate it to perfect flat. The photo is unbalanced, it gives me a feel of the occean and clouds moving forward. Don't you think?

Xterra: If I were you, I would look into buying an used 10D. It's sold around US$800-900 these days as everybody wants to upgrade to 20D. Very good deal in my opinion and it will sure last you for a while.

just my 2 cents.

Briliant idea! I think I may go with it. Just one more concern about it. Would an used camera produce photos in a declined manner? I mean, would an used camera be actually able to take shots as sharp as a new one does? there is a rumor that a digital sensor can only do certain amount of shots, the quality of photos declines from time to time. Is it ture?

I saw one on ebay, the seller is moving up to 1D (what a crazy guy...). The 10D he is selling has taken few thousands shots, asking for about $1000 CND, no lens though. Do you think it is worthwhile to buy?

Thanks again!
