Hi! I've decided to buy a digital SLR, and I'm considering either a new Canon 350D (RebelXT) or a used Nikon D1X. I've used the Nikon D1X for about a year now as an army journalist. A brilliant camera, and with time I have really learned how to use it. I have particulary enjoyed the ruggedness of the D1X. In my part of our wonderful world, I can get hold of a somewhat used D1X with a standard 50mm Nikon AF lens for about 00. In stores, I can get a EOS 350D equipped with a Canon EF 17-40mm lens for about ,200. So I don't really know which one to choose. I've never tried Canon SLRs. In my job, the D1X has performed good. But now I neew a good all-round camera for personal use. Is the Canon EOS350D (RebelXT) a better choice than a used D1X? Cheers! Cpl. J.N. Heartman
