    Please, help me to choose...

    Between Nikon D-40X 18-55 lens, and Sony A-100 18-70 lens.
    Assume same price.
    Thank you.

    Sorry but I have not held either one, I have the Canon XTI. Which one feels better in your hands?

    Like James said, get your hands on both of them, and see which one feels better. I picked up an Alpha one, and the controls felt very strange to me, compared to what I'm use to using. They might feel great to you tho. Get your hands on both, and see what you like best.

    Why not research the features that you want in a camera, then make a decision?

    Sorry but sometimes it isn't all about bells and whistles. It's about what fits you for what you need it for.

    Okay, what are you looking for in these two cameras? What are your main items that you would like to have in a camera? Do you currently own a digital camera?
