Quote from the review:

"Which camera to choose is a personal one and depends on a number of factors. All things considered, bottom line is that the Canon EOS Rebel XT and the Nikon D70 digital SLR are both capable of delivering excellent image quality. We recommend looking at what features are the most important to you, and to base your decision accordingly."

Please lah. This kind of thread has been going on for ages. Just buy what you want. This vs that lah. Go and shoot more.

nothing wrong with the quote. buy what appeals to you and you're comfortable with without straining your pockets too much

Canon site Nikon Question???

Anyway as a canon user I still support CANON...

Both cameras can do equally well in most situations.

Except for Infrared photography. Nikon wins hands down in my opinion.

I don't own a Nikon, I own a Canon, yet from what I have seen I stand by my opinion.

Cheers

agree that both would work well.... in the hands of the initated I guess both systems offer lots of accessories and lenses to go along with the camera and should be able to cover your needs.

I'm one of the odd ones out who wanted and got a lightweight camera (300D and 20D) and a light yet high quality medium telephoto zoom that (70-200F4L). But I'm sure there would be equivalents in Nikon's arsenal too (later if not now)

Hi mpenza,

I remember when you purchased the 20D; but I didn't realise you also bought a 300D

Why, if I may ask, did you buy the 300D also

Cheers.

heh heh .... mpenza had the 300D first.

Ahhh, I wasn't aware of that.

I guess I should be asking mpenza the next questions :-

How long did you have the 300D before buying the 20D ???

And why did you go from the 300D to 20D.
I can think of reasons why, but I would like to hear others.

How do you use the differences between the 300D and the 20D to warrant the expense ???

Sorry for the questions, I just thought it may be of interest to others as well as my self.
I already have the 20D and love it. I could do what I do with a 300D but I prefer the build along with the speed.

Thank you for any reply.

I need the higher burst rate (5fps) and more importantly, the additional bufferring of the 20D for the shoots that I'm doing (mainly fashion runway). 2.5fps at 4 frames max for the 300D is a bit constraining and I missed some shots because of it. 300D is great otherwise. 350D would have served the same purpose too but I couldn't wait

Hi mpenza,
Thanks for your reasons for the reasons of change.
Cheers.
