d40 or xt?
d40 or xt?
d40 or xt?

hard decision. but cannons have nicer higher end lenses right? i guess i'll just go to a store and see which one feels right...

 

[Forest12]

id say xt
Nikkor lenses are hella expensive.
Canon is more popular and easier to get parts for.
D40 or xt

 

[302scooters]

I hate cannon lenses
I like nikon better

 

[Forest12]

I think it just depends on what you prefer moreee.
Some nikon some canon.
I prefer canon.
And chandler theres a couple threads on canon vs nikon.

 

[Chandler Olsen]

ya ive read about 2,375.9 threads on cannon vs. nikon.

i was up til like 11 last night searching threads to try and find an answer. at first i was leaning towards the nikon. but then i started leaning towards the canon if i really want to get into photography. and now im back at ground zero and im just gonna go to a store and see how they both feel.

ill let you know when i have my descision.


edit-there should be a photography question thread...

i should make it. ya.

 

[Shelby Grimnes]

Uhhh I like Canon more, because i'm used to it but they are really both the same, just what feels right to you

 

[Chandler Olsen]

ok that helps thanks shelb.

 

[Steve Moore]

I just ordered the Fujifilm FinePix S700

 

[floodyboy]

canon 1000d worth it?

 

[Andy Rhode]

yea just get it

 

[Gnartastic]

all about the hasselblad 503cw......hard as shit to get used to but produces top notch photos

 

[Andy Rhode]

or you can just get a nikon d40 and some flashes and get almost the same photo.
