Canon Verses Nikon, the Clash of the Camera Titans
So, after getting my Nikon stolen a few months ago while on a trip to Arizona I decided to get a new camera and opted for the Canon 30D. The reason I decided on the Canon was because a few of my photography buddies have the Canon and love it. They also have all kinds of lenses so if I wanted to try a diferent lense, I could probably borrow one.
I only had a my Nikon for about 3 months, but was used to it, because it was my first SLR (Single-Lense Reflex). I have read reviews and asked several photographers their preference and decided that it all comes down to personal prefrence. They basicaly do the same things.
Why did I go for the 30D? Well….it was cheaper because it is an older model but still has the fuctions needed for some of the lenses I plan on getting in the future. I’m not sure I quite understand the functions in their entirety, but hope to as I learn how to take better momshots.

I love that Canon and I have always been a Nikon person. I started shooting Nikon film SLR in 1994…My next cam might be a Canon for the heck of it…since my wife has stolen my Nikon

I used nikon for years and could never ever get good shots. (I even bought very expensive lenses.) I looked at pro sporting events photogs and they ALL used Canon. Every last one. Some would carry around two and three cameras around their necks and they were all Canon. So I bought one and Wow! Now I’m going to sell my expensive Nikon garbage on Ebay. I love my Canon!
