Get a 350d with kit lens and then get a new lens when you know what you are looking for.

The canon gives a much better picture than the d50.

Some people like nikons better though.

Go to a shop and have a try with both of them.

Not £200 better than a 350d though. With the money saved you could buy a telephoto lens.

Debateable - People that have used Nikons (like me) stick by them and wont buy other gear, people that use Canons stick with Canons. Obviously thats a generalisation because thats not the case 100% of the time.

But the canon takes a better picture, and has better high iso performance.

The feel of them is what you would be choosing on.

Image quality for me every time though.

Thats not a bad price with lens actually although you've stil got a memory card after that.

Would depend how much cheaper the 350d could be had for.

Depends, you get adaptor rings but you will only be able to manual focus and its near impossible with the small dark viewfinders.
