Nikon D5000 or Canon 450D?

[RyanP]

I got mine for xmas last year. It was my first dslr so im still learning new stuff everyday. One thing i like is the fps it can pop off in the right light.

And i think u can get the kit online for alot cheaper than what u have listed.....first search revealed this http://cgi.ebay.com/CANON-EOS-Rebel...wItemQQptZDigital_Cameras?hash=item1c0d78e2bd

if it helps, i got my D40 brand new on ebay. i paid about $680 for the following:

- D40
- 18-55mm lens
- 55-200mm VR lens
- 4gb memory card
- carrying case
- misc junk

just make sure u research the seller, you know how that can go sour

might want to research your lens options that are available for each brand

yeah definitely. i make sure its a seller with thousands of positive feedback and ALWAYS ALWAYS use a credit card. if it goes south, file a dispute with the credit card. paypal is abosolutely worthless when it comes to helping you out

they are basically the same... what it comes to is which brand that can CONNECT you with.. just try the each camera... see which layout you like the best... and go with it....

i was about to jump ship to nikon to canon... but after playing with canon body... the layout and menu system was not for me... so im staying with nikon...

Like Neo says, go into a shop and handle both cameras. You'll know pretty quickly. These cameras are so similar, it boils down to how they feel in your hands.

Thanks Neo and Chaitika, I guess I just have to march down to the store and try them on.


Thanks Guys.
