I am a newbie to SLR let alone DSLR but I want to get more serious into photography. I've been looking around and reading up on the net and chosen either the D70s or XT.I am hoping that this 'investment' will last me a while so I want to get a good DSLR.
At the moment I am leaning towards the D70s but the XT has more MP. I'm sure in the near future, 6.1MP would be considered very little.
Anyway, any advice is definitely welcome.

Thanks in advance.

neokenza-

Agood beginning would be to actually handle each camera and determine how each feel in hand. Check out the viewfinders and how they would feel with a long zoom lens on them. Unless, you are going to do huge (larger than 9" X 13", for example) the difference in mp will not make a huge difference. Yes, there will be a difference, but it is not huge.
