what is your choice of slr camera
 

so whats everyones choice of slr camera i was thinking of buying one and i was thinking of the new nikon 5000. what have u guys been using?

Started with a Canon 300D and then upgraded to 30D. I checked out the 50D at Ritz and was really impressed. Im a Canon nut hugger I guess because I never used a Nikon. I hear great things about them though.

i like nikon cause thats there specialty they only make cameras

And Binos and riflescopes too ;)

Have you cruised any SLR forums? Or better yet go down to a Ritz camera and play with a few?

Love my canon. Takes sharper pictures than anything I've owned.

i have the canon 50D
but you probably know its all about the lenses
thats where they make their money :D

Started with Canon XTi, bought a T1i if I had the extra cash at the time I would have purchased a Nikon D90.

Canon 5D. Can't beat a full frame sensor.

I use a Nikon D40 and it's a pretty good entry point shoot camera.

I have the same thing, you can see some of the pics I've shot with it in the photograph thread.

No nikon makes a lot of other products.

I personally think you should go with Canon. I've worked with tons of profesional photographers and about 90% of them use Canon over Nikon. Plus I don't really like Nikon's photo processor I think it make a lot of things look really fake.

Plus for price it seems like Canon always give you more.

When your buying an SLR your not just buying the camera, your buying into its range of lenses and other accessories. So you should make certain that the brand you buy has the lenses you want and at the price you want. The lenses will easily cost more than the camera so this is only a small part of purchase.

:iagree:

Canon Rebel is my choice my father has a nice Nikon and he says that he wished he had gotten the canon because there is just to much stuff with the Nikon.

I use a Canon Rebel EOS XSi. Its a great DSLR with a lot of capabilities.
