Umm...yeah, so does almost every other SLR camera.

it's $750 w/lens,

In this market range, the Nikon D50 is less expensive and performs as
good as the Canon XT/350D.

Substitute with the Nikon 18-70 lense and the Nikon D50 performs much
better than the Canon with 18-55, and still costs about the same.

it's better than the nikon D50.

Only if you're a brand snob.

I have a Canon Rebel XT, and I know what it can do. I also use Nikon
gear a lot and know what it can do.

The Nikon D50 is currently the best choice in entry level cameras.

The Canon 30D is clearly better than either the D50 or XT, as it should
be since it costs substantially more.

For now, thanks for all your info, although i'm still (or even more)
confused. i must see through reviews again and sleep over...
