Hi fellow snappers,
Im new to photography and to this forum as well.
But I have a situation which I need all you 'old-birds' to help me solve.
Currently I am using a EOS 66 Canon SLR. But after using a film camera for almost a year, the high cost of purchasing film and developing photos, as well as the other hassels of film camera is getting to me. So I am seriously considering upgrading to a digital SLR camera.
Currently the two most popular digital SLR is Canon 300D and the Nikon D70. Both cost about the same.
But a friend of mine has strongly discouraged me to buy the 300D and urged me to get D70 instead. It would be a clear cut decision for me except that if I switch to Nikon, I will not be able to use my Canon wide angle (28-80mm)and zoom (75-300mm) lens used with my current camera.
Hence it is a dilema for me. Because I dont wish to make new purchases for new lenses.
So if any 'snappers' out there are using Canon 300D or Nikon D70, please advice me which camera is more suitable for me. I would greatly appreciate them.
Thanks
