Digital SLR-Canon or Nikon
I want to buy a digital SLR camera preferably either Canon or Nikon. I have used digital camera before but this is my first SLR. Can you recommend me a good model which gives good pictures and is value for money.
I shoot with Sony a200 and a700 and very happy with both. I have also used Canon Xt, XTi and 40D. Very good cameras. Several friends have Nikon D40, D70 and D300 and they swear by them. The thing about cameras is the same as cars...everyone thinks the Brand they use is the best. If you don't have money invested in Lenses than you get a fresh start. The 3 leaders seem to be Canon, Nikon and Sony (the new kid in the D-SLR market). I would recommend trying the Canon XS and XSi, Nikon D60 and D80, and Sony a300 and a350. These are entry level cameras priced good for first time D-SLR camera owners and will be great daily shooters. They will also be good backup camera for when you are ready to step up to the Pro series of cameras.
Try taking a memory card with you to your nearest BestBuy and shoot a few photos with the above cameras then view them at home, see which images you like best and what camera feels good in YOUR hand.
