Which Digital SLR is better for the money

Question

I know this was discussed not so long ago, but I've just changed computers, hubby is getting my old one and when I downloaded the messages, I couldn't find anything.

I am looking at convincing people to pitch in and get me a digital SLR camera paying less than $1000 and with lenses to zoom in and

Do the lenses from my old yashica and my old cannon non digital slrs fit on these digital slrs?

Which is better the rebel or the Nikon D50 or D70. If you look at bedford.com they have a $999 package on the D50 including a couple of lenses. Is this a good deal?

I'm hoping to take some classes after Christmas at Bedford as they are well known around here.

Thanks for the help... need to get back to family today or tomorrow as I've been procrastinating!

I think it depends on what you want in a camera.  While I really really  really want the Rebel SLR camera, my sister swears by her Nikon.  She's a  photo-journalist for the local newspaper in the town she lives in. Just take a look at the specifics for each camera and research them well.  Then decide which one would best suit your needs.  The price of all the  lenses should also be a big factor in your decision.  My sister is still  taking lessons in Vancouver to improve her skills.  I think she's pretty  good. This is her photo album of her 'fun' pictures.

You're only talking about the Rebel right? Or any Canon SLR? Because I own a Canon S40 which took one heck of a tumble in Banff a year ago (I thought I had the wrist strap on, and as I got out of the car I swung my arm and my camera went flying, hitting the cement sidewalk and denting the corner of the camera really good) and it still works perfectly fine. It's a metal camera, not a plastic one.
