(1/4) > >>

i currently have an olympus e420 which was my first dslr but now i have the urge to move to either canon or nikon. finding lenses etc will be alot easier for this two compared to olympus.

both can be had for around £550.

i have read some various reviews and both seem to be what i am looking for with both plus and minus points for both.

if this link works it should show a comparison between the two

I cant really budget to go for anything more to be honest. i know these two came out last year but how quickly to they normally come out with the newer model? ideally would like this bought before april as i have a tuition booked. cheers

dav-aberdeen:
thanks for those links  :happy2:

still cant decide... ha ha

Both are very good and get good reviews :happy2:

But the thing is a Canon owner will say buy the Canon and a Nikon user would say buy the Nikon :laugh:

Best advice I can give is to go into your local camera store and have a look and hold of both then decide what feels right for you. When I was first looking into buying an SLR I walked into jessop's with the intention of buying a Canon but walked out with a Nikon D5000, the nikon just fitted my hand better and my fingers found the buttons easier to get on with :innocent: Plus IMO the Nikon seemed to have a better build quality :popcornsoda:

Hope that helps

Hedge:
Also try a Pentax K-5 as they are now almost half their launch price.

Well I would say that as I have 2 of them but still a good camera and even better in the right hands.  :innocent:
