But our friend Marvin is not a pro, and wants something for general shooting.
I'd say a D200 or D300 would be more than fine. The rest is just nitpicking details.
If you use the camera every day all day, then yes, small details do tend to matter.
For general (amateur) use, I'd say pick one and go take pictures and stop worrying about which brand is best. Both are more than good enough to produce professional results.
Remember, it's only digital. Thor On 28 May, 2008, at 14:06, Douglas Nygren wrote:
Nearly every professional photographer I know has switched from Nikon to Canon. I noticed the switch beginning 14 years ago. I have a Canon pro film camera and like it. I put an adapter on the body and put Leica R lenses on it. You need to change the focusing screen if you do that. That's not a big deal. I toy with the idea of buying the Canon D5 or is it called the 5D. Full frame. My friends get good results. The one Nikon camera I hear good things about is the new Nikon D5. It can shoot at very fast speeds with no noise. It costs $5,000. The Canon is 2 grand less. Shooting at a high ISO in low light is attractive. With film I use Ilford 3200 at 1000 90% of the time. I hear 3200 looks good on the Nikon. That catches my interest.Let us know what you get.
