Canon was another $400 or so at the time. ANd I have some legacy lenses from a Nikon 6006 35mm SLR that I can use with the D50.

Yup, makes sense then. I use a 35mm Canon EOS 50E with the eye controlled auto focus and the compact IXUS 850 IS. I've been eyeing the Canon 400D because I can use the ultrasonic lenses with it. A mate made off with my EOS 50 and lenses to try them out with his new Canon 350D. I works a treat. Now to get them back from him!
