Filed under: Nikon Digital SLR
My friend has a really nice Nikon Digital SLR and I’m thinking of getting an SLR of my own, but I’m not sure who makes a better Digital SLR, Nikon or Canon?
It’s not just the SLR, it’s also the lenses and flash unit. Once you get started, it is easy to get locked into either Nikon or Canon, so even if you are just starting out you should plan ahead for later expansion.
Unfortunately, you can’t plan ahead much if you don’t have much experience and don’t know what is important to you.
Since your friend already has a Nikon, I’d say get a Nikon so you can share lenses and accessories. Both Canon and Nikon are excellent anyway.
Depends on what you want to shoot….

Try them both out and see which one you like, there is no better or worse in this case.

stick with Nikon because 80 percent of Nikon’s film lens will work, to some degree, on their digital SLR’s

Personally I prefer Nikon. I hear the d60 is pretty nice. :]

Regarding specific Nikon and Canon DSLR models such as the Nikon D40 and the Canon Rebel Series, there is still another brand which is far superior [according to Consumer Reports] and that is the Olympus Evolt E510 which has image stabilization and an active live LCD viewing screen. You should check out the Olympus E510 before considering the purchase of either the Nikon or Canon models.
Good luck!
