I chose the Canon EOS 30D way back when for my wife. Generally for one reason, after reading 1001 reviews and opinions I came to the conclusion it was a little easier to use for a novice user.
Like posted above, people love them both. I've seen professionals using both. Although the professional level I do see Nikon more, but that could be coincidence and I don't think you can go wrong with either brand. The Canon Rebel series is pretty good.
However, with these higher end cameras - you really don't seeing their full potential until you start buying the good lenses/flashes.

You are going to hear either one of two brands from everyone who posts in this thread. Canon(I've owned 4) or Nikon. It is going to come down to a preference on feel and camera menu options IMHO. They are both great quality brands and both take amazing pictures. There are several models out there with combo packages that you can get in your price range. I would go to your local BB or camera store and play around with a couple and find what you think you or your old lady would like to use.Originally posted by ELVIS View Post
I have had 4 Canons and look to get our 5th after the holidays. I have stuck with them because my flash, lenses, and accessories are all canon; but Nikon makes some killer cameras as well.
You may want to look at costco and sams as well for some of their package deals on DSLR's.Leave a comment:
