Nikon V. Canon

[K9soul]

I think you can get beautiful pictures with any of them. I use a Nikon D80, but I have seen beautiful photos from E-volt and Canon as well. I do think it comes down really to price and/or the feature set you want most. Because in the end I think image quality is going to be good on any of them and dependent on the user's knowledge of photography in general and how best to use the camera. I know I haven't scratched the surface of all the ins and outs of my camera and photography. I just have had too much chaos going on with me.

I had no idea lenses were interchangeable for Canons! Hmm, but, still, lenses aren't cheap and that's something else I need to consider. I may just have to stick to the kit lens until I somehow gain several hundred dollars (ha!).

So with that in mind, do you guys think the Nikon or Canon is better completely *as is* (without a separately bought lens)?

I've been hearing that the Rebel's lens really isn't good and that you're pretty much wasting time until you can buy a better glass lens (major con). I haven't heard much about the Nikon's kit lens, but if the Nikon is better in this respect, then I'm definitely going for Nikon..

Please, more advice!
