I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with a Nikon now, but I'll have a look at the D90 as well and see which one I like better, it sounds good! Thanks very much for the advice and the links, I'll definitley have a look :)

Okay :D how much are they new?

Oh okay, I understand VR now! I probably need it as well! :D I am also used to Nikon's and when having a feel and testing each camera in the shop, the Nikon did feel better. I hadn't considered buying second hand as I wasn't sure if I could trust it but after the comments on here I'm going to...

So do you think it's better spending a bit more to get a new one?

Okay thanks!

I'd never actually thought about buying one second hand, I liked that I could try them out in the shop and see which was best and wasn't too sure where I could get a good quality one second hand? But it would be worth saving the money so I will look at some older models too, thanks!

Okay thanks very much for the link, I will look into that too it does sound like a good deal! :)

I didn't realise that how comfortable the camera is was so important! So thank you, I will try them both out again and see what feels right :)

Wow these are incredible!

Okay thanks, I've been to a shop and had a look at both of them, the Nikon was heavier but felt better overall! Yeah, one of the reasons I was leaning towards the Nikon was because it has HD film whereas the Canon doesn't, I'm mainly interested in the photos, not film, but it's a plus! :)

Ah okay, I didn't know that VR was in the Canon lens as well, a sales person I was talking to told me it didn't have it, but he might have just been persuading me to buy the more expensive Nikon! I did prefer the Nikon body wise, it was easier to hold and felt better. I think I'm going to go...

As it's my first camera and I'm not looking to spend too much, budget is no more than £500 for the camera on it's own! As I'm intending to use it for a college course I will be taking photos of a whole range of things so I'm looking for one that's a good all rounder? But in my own time, mainly...

Thanks, I've felt both cameras in a shop and the Nikon was heavier but felt better overall! I'm quite tempted to get it, do you think that having vibration reduction makes a big difference?

Hello, I've been interested in photography for a while and I'm planning on getting a camera but can't decide which is the best way to go. I'm taking photography at college, but it is also a hobby :) I'm only looking for something quite basic to start off with, and don't want to spend too much...
