I currently have a Sony DSC H1, and I've outgrown it.
Went to the camera store today to buy a Nikon D40x with the two lenses.
Had
my check book in my pocket. The camera tekkie, a girl (woman) with
military
and LEO experience steered me away from the D40x to the Canon 40D. In the
meantime, I held and looked at the Nikon 80 and 200. When asked what was
the best camera/deal, she had some convincing arguments.
What I found in the Canon was a camera that fit my hand better, had more
accessible controls, had the shutter release button in a more
ergonomically
correct location, had a bigger LCD screen, had a brighter LCD screen, and
quite a bigger spread on some of the basic settings. More shutter
exposures
per second. Electronic dust release on turn on/off. More weather
resistant.
It was about twice the price, too, with two lenses, but now I'm almost
convinced that instead of even the Nikon 200, a Canon EOS 40D is the
better
camera.
Comments, please.
Thanks. I know this is an endless discussion re: the best camera et al.
But when spending two grand, I'd like to hear from people who been there,
done that, and what they learned. I want a camera that I will will to my
son because it will last that long, and I will be satisfied with it. Went
to stevesdigicams.com and they liked it and stated many of the same
reasons
she had.
