Oh, the horrors!

My boss decided today that I should buy a new digital camera for work

Our current "state of the art" camera is a CoolPix 2100. She wants to use it for taking pictures in class and decided that I shouldn't have to carry mine around anymore.

Work is getting a Canon Rebel XT (8 MPixel)with the base 18-55mm lens. It's actually about $100 over my initial budget, but, from the reviews, it seems to work better in the macro range than other cameras I could find, and I can eventually put other lenses onto it.

I'm aware of your poorly-hidden anti-Nikon agenda, you Canon flak. The proper authorities will hear of this!

I looked at the Nikon D40 first, but my budget wouldn't stretch the extra $200 needed to get D40x in order to get similar specs as the Rebel XT.
