I had a sigma lens on my old 35mm Canon which hasn't transferred to the digital--it just won't work--but I keep not getting around to sending it for reprogramming.

I drove a Belgian friend of mine to Germany last year to go shop for a Canon 350D (after weeks of online comparisons on sites like http://www.dpreview.com/ ). Why? Taxes are only 6% in Germany (Belgium: 21%) AND the warranty was valid in the whole of Europe.
As for Canon/Nikon: far as I know, it's like the Mac/PC thing: it doesn't actually matter what you use, but most people are either a fan of one or the other.

I've been trying to get hold of a filter for my D50, but the company I've tried keep on sending me the wrong sizes. I gave up after three attempts..

Yes, BUT... (and this doesn't rly apply in this case, but it's goood to know)
...Nikon works the smaller (23.6 x 15.8mm) sensor size whereas canon has full-frame (36.0 x 24.0mm) sensors @ the higher-cost models. Nikon has NO plans to go to full-framefor whatever reason. So if you were considering the ULTIMATE UPGRADE then you'd have to go canon. I think nikon makes vg entry-level cameras.

In the US, B&H Photo is a popular camera-only store (www.bhphoto.com), but Amazon generally has prices that are just as good on lenses from Canon and Nikon as well as free shipping.
