Can't comment on the Cannon but I have been using Nikon cameras for about 37 years and really like them. I just recently purchased a Nikon D80 and I am very impressed with it so far. Remember the lenses are separate when looking at the prices unless you buy a camera and kit to go with it.

If you are considering buying over the Internet please read this thread, Jeff

CANON EOS 30D or...NIKON D80. Can anybody help me please!!!!

Well first off, let me say that international wars have been started over issues less volatile than the age-old Canon vs. Nikon debate... :mad:

But I think we're all civilized here. I doubt your's will be the shot heard 'round the world... :D

That being said, what you ask is definitely not off-topic for this site. So let's see about getting your thread moved to a better forum...
