Which Camera is Better, the Nikon D80 or the Canon Eos Digital Rebel xsi?
I want to buy the Nikon d80 but then I came across the Canon Rebel xsi and couldn't decide, so I want to here what you guys have to say?
I mainly take protraits,
dpreview.com has a nice way of comparing side by side, feature by feature. They seem very comparable. I like some of the Canon features more and some of the Nikon features more.
I'd also look at prices and lens prices as the body isn't going to matter a whole lot if you put a lousy lens in front of it.

The Nikon D80 is an in between camera … between the Nikon D40 and D300. Canon has no camera in the D80 class. If they did it would fall in between the Canon XSi and 40D.
It really doesn't matter what camera you use to shoot, it just has to have interchangeable lenses and be capable of shooting high resolution images.

Why not debate this for another month or two and wait for Nikon to come out with their replacement for the D80? We're not sure what it will be or when it will come out, but I believe that it will trump the XSi. It will surely have live view, a dynamic range extension exposure mode, and 14-bit RAW, so it will be even with Canon there. They have had a few months to dream up the next great thing, so let's just see what it is.
It's been almost two years since the D80 was introduced and this is much longer than any product cycle I've seen from Nikon.

Functionally, they're very similar.
But going strictly on build quality, definitely the D80.
I'd say it's worth the difference in price.
