If it was 2 months ago, I said 50D. Now I'd pick T1i, due to the similar functions with 50D as well as size and weight (easy to travel with).
BTW - which Canon HD camcorder are you looking at? I was looking at the HF10 but that got discontinued. I really like the size of it. Now I need to start researching again.

Canon T1i or Nikon D90. The T1i shoots 1080p @ 15fps and 720p @ 30fps. The D90 shoots 720p @ 24fps. I would recommend spending a few more bucks on one of these bodies and get a nice lens instead of buying a separate video camera. Any consumer camera you buy will not have the same low light capability and depth of field you can achieve with these DSLRs.

Good thread! However i will soon get the chance to own a Canon 400D for a price next to nothing. I'm also new to DSLRs and i wonder if i should take that (as i said...almost free) or spend good money on a Canon 500D? What do you guys think? How big are there the differences?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I think for that money you should be able to find a canon 40d as there prices have come down now since the release of the 50d.

The price range is totally different. My piggy bank is running low.

You have a point, but the thing is, this is going to be a birthday gift for my dad.
I highly doubt he's going to get into professional photography.
I'd rather him master a more...[appropriate?] skill. Such as mastering English

But in all seriousness, I would still get him the camera because you can borrow it. It's like buying a gift for yourself.
