Good idea! Right now I have an old Olympus D770 but I'm going to upgrade soon. I'm leaning towards the Nikon d5100 for the hdr features and it has the same sensor as the more expensive d7000.

And the war wages on... Nikon Vs. Canon - similar to Ford Vs. Holden in many ways... once you adopt one clan, most people stick with it for life.Originally Posted by gamblor916
The d5100 is a fine camera, yet I found Canon's easier to use, so that's why I went that way (after playing around with a few of my friend's DSLRs).
Reviews only tell one side of the story - hands on play is a different thing altogether, so my advice is to have a fiddle with them first (if you can) and see what feels more 'right' to you.

I knew that was going to pop up here sooner or later. I try to keep myself unbiased but... Nikon are far superior. SORRY!

They probably are (since I'm no expert) - but all I know is that I find Canons easier and more user friendly.Nikon are far superior. SORRY!

Good point but I've found that once you get used to the menus and things it's not really an issue.And the war wages on... Nikon Vs. Canon - similar to Ford Vs. Holden in many ways... once you adopt one clan, most people stick with it for life.

I had a play with a few SLRs at the photo expo a couple of weeks back. I did like the d3100 in-camera step by step guide. Didn't get a chance to look at the Canons though, too many people at the booth.

Are there any Canon users here that can recommend a good Macro lens?
(looking at the EFS 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM at the moment)
Also, is there anyone interested in buying a two week old EFS 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 lens (MIB)?

Picked up a Tamron SP 60mm f/2 Di II Macro over the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM today.
It's faster, cheaper and (arguably) has better build quality over the Canon equivalent whilst producing equal (if not better) image quality.
I highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for a macro lens as the image quality is superb, which these pics will attest!
