Understood I have a couple 5D mkII's about the same camera at $1500. I was shooting tonight my Canon with Nikon glass. Had a Nikon 180mm AIS ED lens to shoot the moon with. It makes it a manual focus of course but you can use your Nikon glass on a Canon body.

Right now, I wouldn't say that Canon or Nikon is ahead of the other. The D800 and 5D MkIII are both very nice at their point, and either would be a good choice if you're heavily-invested in a system. With that being said, one isn't enough better than the other to justify switching systems. Last edited by RedandGold; 05-24-2013 at 05:43 AM.. |

I watched a great video or two on Youtube where they compare the D3200 and it's Canon counterpart; taking pictures and videos of the same thing on 2 different tri-pods and comparing side-by-side.
a few others were good showing the pros and cons of each. on the one side by side video, it looked like the Cannon had better picture..but the D3200 had executed some features better. From what I gather, it's probably a wash either way for a Noob; both had pros and cons, but as a Noob I doubt I would notice either.

I know it is above your range, but it is an excellent kit for a great price:
http://www.adorama.com/INKD5200L3.html?EmailPrice=T I bought one for the Mrs...she loves it. The photos taken with this camera are excellent. I used it to photograph a wedding...the images I took were better than the professional photographer's pix. NOTE: you should also consider acquiring photo-editing and processing software for your computer. Aperture for the Mac is good and simple; Lightroom (Adobe) for Mac or PC is also a good choice, though a bit more complex.

If you're sticking with traditional photography, I'd go with the Nikon D3200 for entry-level or the D7xxx series if you're willing to stretch your budget for something that you can grow into. I've played with the Canon 60d, which is essentially a step between the T4i and the Nikon D7xxx series in terms of market strategy, and I preferred the Nikon. |

I'm also driving up the prices of beer.
my brain is whatever the type is, A or B etc, where I'm better drawing, music playing/appreciation, painting, dramatic movies etc. Creative would be a better word.

I'm going to a small camera shop at lunch today to look around. Don't feel like going to Best Buy and having a 18yr old kid give me advice. ...sort of like when I went into Guitar Center a few months back and asked about a good entry level electronic drum kit, and the 18 year old was like "this one is really good for a beginner".....as he points to the $4k Roland. WTF

I was a gymnast for about 6 years and competed in USGA all around a 5 state region. Just curious.
