Thanks, Y! So far the peeps are saying the Canon is the way to go! I’m going to a camera store in a few days to ask more questions.

I felt the same way about spending money on a dslr, but I had friends tell me that it was so worth the money.

I took the plunge and bought the Rebelxti and I have to tell you, IT IS SO WORTH THE MONEY. It’s a great beginner dslr and I the pictures that I have taken with it are absolutely worth every cent.

I recently tried to shoot with a friend’s Nikon d40 and I have to tell you, I hated it.

I only paid about $570 for the body and another couple hundred on a good lens. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Yoshi, thanks for the good advice. I am going to our local camera store to see how each camera feels in my hands.

Jess, it’s a tough call, right? I loved the Sony when I first got it. I don’t know why I always want the bigger and better model.

Christina, wouldn’t that be nice? To get a camera rep on the horn and see what strings they can pull?

Yep, I’d love an SLR camera, too. We need to find out who Sony, Canon or Nikon’s PR reps are.

I think you can’t go wrong, really. Also we have similar taste in cameras because I have the Sony DSC-H5 and totally covet a DSLR too, and am torn between those two that you listed. Let me know what you decide!

There are 2 different pro photographers out there. The ones that use canon and the ones that use nikon. Well, ok 3, but we won’t get into that. lol

Anyways that’s been the million dollar question. canon or nikon?

To be honest with you I have to tell you that I”m a nikon person. I love nikon because i’ve always used them. But canon is good too. The rebel is an awesome camera. And I think you’ll be happy with it. The Nikon D40 is a good camera too. Although it’s not one I would choose. But again, i’m a Nikon person and I own 4 Nikon cameras

I have canon cameras, but not a SLR camera. they make awesome point and shoot cameras, but honestly to get the D1v… I would have to promise my first born son to pay for that. LOL

Honestly, I think you really need to go to a camera shop and hold them. Then you’ll know. The cameras can get heavy, especially when you have big lenses on them.

the rebel is HEAVY and everywhere i’ve looked the nikon is way more expensive than the rebel anyway.
