i was in ur shoe also last year. at first i go for nikon, coz i didn;t know canon got make these kind of camera. then i found out that nikon's low end range is a bunch of whackjobs masquerading as dslrs when i compare it with canon's low end cameras. i was thinking like, if i'm gonna pay good money for such low performance camera, i can either forget about it and keep to PnS, or i could look at the next higher range. comparing between these two, the decision is already made up. really no fight lar between canon's xxD series with nikons Dxx and above. it was then decided i would go for canon 40D when originally i wan to buy a nikon D80. dat's why, saving up for nearly a year to get the 40D plus a 24-105L lens. no regrets so far.
i beg to differ. what do you define as a 'whackjob'? it has all the forms and functions to make it a dslr.:nono:
can someone explain why is NIkon made in thailand when Canon is still made in Japan? On two counts I wanted to get a Nikon ( a coolpic and a 90D) and it is the tag that push me away to a sony cybershot and a Canon 50D respectively. No offend for products made in thailand but personally if I am to pay for a Camera and given a choice I would feel better buying something that is made in Japan given it's renowned quality control reputation. So I'd go for Canon 50D.
Wanna-be Nikon owner that didn't get-to-be.
