Thread: Cameras

The Canon vs Nikon SLR choice basically comes down to which you prefer the feel of, there are some differences in features but neither is really any better than the other. Just like a rifle, handle the options before deciding. Often there is a compromise between smaller/lighter models being easier to chuck in your pack and carry, vs the bigger chunkier ones feeling better in the hand and being nicer to actually take photos with.

I have an old Nikon D80 which has done well over the years but is nearly due for replacement now. Nikon are a bit funny with updates, they overlap the new model with the old one for a while before they drop the old one. But basically for that equivalent model they went D80 > D90 > D7000 > D7100.
