From what I see, the D50 is about $900 for just the body, and the EOS400D Rebel XTi is about $650. (I have no doubt you can find both for cheaper, but I'm using the same website for comparative purposes.

Given this, I would buy the EOS400D Rebel XTi for at least two reasons: 1.) It's cheaper; and 2.) It's better.

Please read this website if you'd like to know more. And don't waste your money buying the kit with basic lens....save $100 and buy a real nice lens. You'll thank yourself later.
