And a clincher might be that we can share lenses. :)Apprenticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00856592023848792416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9397139.post-1133975410159449432005-12-07T17:10:00.000+00:002005-12-07T17:10:00.000+00:00I'll examine the specs some more and post about th...I'll examine the specs some more and post about this again soon.Garry Nixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695932789922262374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9397139.post-1133975328105674382005-12-07T17:08:00.000+00:002005-12-07T17:08:00.000+00:00Thanks FB.

It's down to this now: Canon EOS 350D, or Nikon D50 (or 70?).Garry Nixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695932789922262374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9397139.post-1133972157687589462005-12-07T16:15:00.000+00:002005-12-07T16:15:00.000+00:00The Canon 350D is a good camera.

The Nikon D50 comes in at £120 cheaper with a decent lens, and quite frankly is a better camera.<BR/><BR/>There are a number of things that irk me about the 350D. It feels light and flimsy compared to the Nikon equivalents (try them in the shop), and also the lens barrel doesn't have any markings. This is a right pain in the proverbial when trying to do night time shots (I know you don't plan on doing this, but it can be very useful to focus in dim light by turning the lens to some distance and knowing it will be nearly in focus).<BR/><BR/>Canon and Nikon lenses are both expensive and of similar quality, and unless you make a mint with your first book, I think you'd be leaning towards cheaper make lenses, like Sigma.<BR/><BR/>Obviously, I'm a Nikon user and I'm sure you'd get some arguments from Canon users, so I suggest the best thing to do is to just go and try them out!FactoBrunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09766214872618671796noreply@blogger.com
