Nikon V's Canon

I have decided to buy a digital SLR on HP, to improve my credit rating you understand. I just don’t know what to do. I’m stuck, Canon 350D or Nikon 50D. There’s just so much to think about. The Canon is 8 mega pixels and the Nikon is 6 mega pixels but there ain’t much difference in picture quality. Well that’s what the bloke on the telly reckons. The Nikon is about £100 cheaper. But I have found a shop that will do me a Richer sounds type deal so I could get £50 to £100 off the Canon. I have not forgotten about the cards either. It’s going to be about £80 for a gig. I could get it cheaper but it would be slower and with 8 mb RAW shots I’m going to need the speed. So sod it, its on HP I’ll go for the fast one. Both cameras are everything I want. It’s a real bitch. I had to laugh in the shop today. I was at the counter playing with the two cameras and a bloke stepped up to the counter on my right. He asked about the same two cameras. So the two of us stood there with a camera each asking a multitude of questions. As we were doing this another bloke stepped up and started asking questions about the cameras. This was great as there were only two cameras and only one bloke that seamed to know about the cameras. It’s a pity they don’t do trial periods as both have good and bad points and I just can’t make up my mind. Any help would be appreciated.

cannon every time, it sounds like a gun, where as the nicon sounds like an oriental lap dancer!

I think it's more how and what you point it at that makes the thing useful. I know people who have purchased a cannon for no other reason other than to say they have, it then becomes a shit camera because they have the artistic temprement of dried to the plate macaroney. Photography has always been about capturing an image, not about how many gig can be stored and what format and oh this green button comes on when you do this and oh I need to change the display colour etc etc, a good camera and a good lens is only the half of it, and don't forget the hardey parenials this winter, they may need a little more mulch than usual.
