With the announcement of the new 15.1 MP Canon EOS 50D and the 12.3 Nikon D90 enthusiast digital SLR cameras coming on almost the same day, there is certainly a lot of excitement (and debate) happening among photographers within the Canon and Nikon communities.
The Canon EOS 50D is a worthy update to the 10.1 MP Canon EOS 40D and the new Nikon D90 takes a big leap forward compared to the 10.2MP Nikon D80.
Photographers making their way up from a digital point and shoot type of camera (and the Youtube crowd) will undoubtedly be attracted by the appeal of also being able to record D-Movie 720p HD clips with sound using the Nikon D90.
