Jump to postI personally have the 300D, and this is simply because I used the Canon Elan 7e SLR before this. So i had the canon lenses already, and there was no point in wasting money to switch to Nikon. Each brands have their weak points and strong points, but both are great quality. What you need to do is phy...
