My wife recently dropped and broke our P&S digital, so this just gives me an opportunity to buy a new toy. I'm trying to get into the digital SLR world on the beginner level. I currently have a Nikon N60 (Film SLR) with Quantaray lenses (28-80 D 1:3.5-5.6 and 100-300 D 1:4.5-6.7). My question is whether I should buy the D70 body only and use the current lenses or go with the Canon 300D with the lense kit and then buy a fairly good 300mm lense. The price works out to be about the same (~$1000). Also, if you think the Canon is the way to go, what 300 mm lense should I get for about $200-$250?
Oh yeah, here's what I'll be using it for... Vacation photos, family photos, I'm going to take a class and try to get into more landscape shots. Thanks!
