Hey guys, was at SITEX and am currently at a dilemma. Which system should i get? The D70 or the E-300
D70
Advantages
-Proven system, hell thousands of people can't be wrong
-Its a Nikon....Nikon can do no wrong...I think
-Large number of different lenses
Disadvantages
-Cost
-No anti-dust system?
-Made in thailand(QC issues?)
E-300
Advantages
-Cost, for the price I pay at Sitex, can get another zoom lens
-Anti-dust system
- Made in japan
Disadvantages
-Unproven system, its so damn new
The E-300 is purely targetted at the prosumer. While the D70 is targetted at the pros but comes with a close to prosumer price tag. The thing that is really swinging me over to the E-300 is the cost and the anti-dust system(I've read that its quite a problem for DSLR users....) and the thing swinging me right back to Nikon is the proven reliability of the D70(albeit at a steeper price, S$300 more....)
So, give me some advice guys! Could really use some of them! If its of any use, I was a previous user of the CP5700(before it got stolen while on holiday..... :cry: )
