Canon or Nikon?? Opinions please
Norbreck21a:
Just as Rich is a Canon guy, I'm Nikon. Why, mainly because I purchased my first Nikon over 20 years ago and started building a system.
I've also used a Canon 1Ds MK III on an assignment and that was also a super bit of kit.
To be honest as Rich also said, both Canon and Nikon produce superb cameras and systems but also don't discount the entry level offerings from Pentax, Olympus, Panasonic, Sony etc.
The only thing I would say about these systems is that whilst they are every bit as good as a Canon or Nikon (certainly in the non-professional areas), the latter two are the only ones I would recommend if you are serious about building a system (lenses, flash, grips, etc) as both Canon and Nikon have by far the most comprehensive systems and support.

Bargain!
Another option is to get a really good point and shoot. Something like the canon G12 or Nikon Coolpix P7000.

I've always wanted an SLR, with a long lens, and having seen Hedge's girth of his camera lense at various track day events, and playing with Alex's selection of SLR's at corfe castle the other week, has made my mind up.. :happy2:
Norbreck21a:
Just bought a Nikon P7000 Rich for my holiday to Mexico in a few weeks.
Absolute belting bit of kit and very light and pocketable(ish). The 28-200 stabilised lens is all I really need for the holidays.
