what exactly are the features that will be worth getting a camera such as a d50 over a d40?
Hmmm... AFAIK, the D50's have been discontinued.

From what I've read the dust thing is a big deal and it's supposed to be a great just "point and shoot" camera, not that I want to rely on that too much but it's nice to have.

I've bought several things, including video cards, hard drives and motherboards from newegg.com, so I can vouch for their legitimacy. They offer the XTi for $700 for the body only (without any lenses) and $760 new in the retail box with a lens.

When my refund gets here I'm definitely picking one up. What I'm trying to decide now is if I want to just get the body and invest in some good lenses or get the kit and buy different lenses later.
Here's my mistake with the D50... I bought the body with the kit lens (18-55) and then added a 55-200 also. What I really should have looked for was something like an 18-135 or more... It might have been a little more, but it would have been convenient.
