I'm currently looking at upgrading my dslr and also switching brands.

i'm currently using a nikon d60 but looking at either the 500d or the 50d.

now before pple ask why the switch, from my experience the 500d takes better shots than the d90. I have used both as one mate has the canon and the other has a nikon.

My question is -
Is the 50d really worth the extra coin over the 500d, i'm not fussed about hd movies, i just want a camera body that is gonna last a few years and wont be replaced in the next 12 months.

chees for any feedback
