Hello, I am going to get a new DSLR for action photos. mainly ringette,(Ice sport) but anyway, I need a camera under 1000 CDN that can be able to freeze and take the perfect shot. I am heavily sideing with the Canon Rebel XTi. Which is a beutiful camera, is there any other recomendations, or is the XTi good for what I want to use it for?

ya I scanned dpreview today, so i dont really understand the entire iso thing in camera's. is there a good place i can go to read up on it? or is the manual good to start? as like I said all my photos will be action and indoor lighting. And you said the higher ISO will benefit greatly. thanks for the help.

Get the Nikon D50. The best camera for the price. I have it and it is badass. get it on the net, you can get a good deal w/lens. Read the reviews on the camera, i havent seen a bad one yet.
And just so you know ISO is the speed, like 200 400 800. The D50 has and auto option for ISO too, so you wont have to worry about it.

Without getting into the Nikon Vs. Canon debate, let me just say that both these cameras are more than capable to reproduce decent results. There in not much in between them either so the choice will largly depend on personal choice as well as the equipment that you may already own. If you have had a film SLR in the past, chances are that the lens for that camera can be used in the new digital SLR body.
Without getting too technical, ISO is a measure of how sensetive your (film in a normal 35mm camera , CMOS/CCD in a digital camera) capture device is to light. Having said that, it makes sense to say that for a low light situation, you would like to make your camera more sensetive to light (Higher ISO setting). Coupled with the fast action you are going to be facing, it makes sense that you will need a very sensetive ISO and lens combination.
Therefore, as 12DVD has mentioned, it is not the brand name on the camera body that matters, but rather it is the lens's ability to gather low light with out having to resort to a long exposure time. You dont want to rely on a long exposure time to gather light as your subject is going to be moving and you will end up with nice blurry picutres.
In short, I would go with either camera but plan on spending $$$ on a telephoto lens that can achieve a f2.8 or lower.
good luck

I would get a good lens if you already have a camera. Since you will be shooting indoors, you have to make sure you have atleast a F2.8. Those are expensive. Maybe the XT and the 70-300mm IS is a good start for a beginner sports lens. You will surely upgrade but this is a good place to start.

Well I have already order the XT, damn cheap too(deals) well I am a Digital SLR noob i guess. So I will be having the default lens until christmas or money comes in. But, but, i have an old Minolta Telephoto lens I have a for an older Film SLR, Minolta XG-1. By any chance would any of you guys/gals know if a film SLR Telephoto lens would work on digital? I mean this thing is kind a heavy and all. So, heres its specs. Focal MC Auto Zoom 1:4.5 f = 8 0 - 2 0 0mm sorry for lack of info, but this was my moms so I just found it.
oh it says f=200mm Macro on the lens also.

Your minolta lens will not fit on the XT.
The Nikon cameras are the only DSLR that allow the older manual lenses to be used with their DSLR. As for the Canon, you will need to buy lenses. If the XT didnt come with any, I would recommend the 35-80 for beginners. You can also look through B& H photography and see if they have some used lenses for a good price. That is always the best way to go because you are most than likely to upgrade them....

there's only one thing you should do......... resize your images so you can post online without hogging up all the space and making it difficult to view your images! I usually go down to 800x600 pixels or there abouts. use your CS2 to resize and post!

just a reminder about speeds..... you camera will go as fast as your lens but also keep in mind the speed of your memory disk. The faster your disk the faster the camera can read and write to the disk so the camera can do it's job faster! I had a 1Gig card Ultra II card and then bought an Extreme III 1Gig card, both by SD and the difference is like night and day! the new Extreme III card makes my camera like 3 times faster! what a difference! So keep in mind the better cards makes the camera faster!

I'm hoping to buy a DSLR after Christmas. I will be getting a pentax (or something that will accomodate my pentax mounts) so that I can use all the equipment I've got.
Great pix guys. I'm still hoping to start a "arts" thread.
