Exactly. It's different strokes for different folks. In the end, Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Pentax et al all make very competent cameras. They each have their pros and cons, they each have a certain feel and some are more expensive than others. The user must decide what they like/need/want and make a choice. I've grown to like my 20D and 50D, so will stick with Canon, but others may have a different opinion.

As for Les Paul vs Strat, the term you're looking for is fretboard radius which is one of the many differences between them. As you say Strats tend to have a smaller radius. Mine is 7.25" compared to the 12" radius of my Les Paul, compared to the 9" radius of my Telecaster. They are all great guitars, much better than I am as a guitarist..

Gibbos also have a shorter scale length,good for small fingers(or should I say less strong fingers as the tension is less) :)

This has been asked and answered many times.

The only think I'd add, for someone buying their first DSLR and unable to make up their mind, is to pick a camera - the brand doesn't really matter - that feels comfortable and 'right' in your hands and buy used. There's nothing wrong with getting something two or three generations back from the current model, and it'll be a lot cheaper. Don't invest in additional lenses right away, but learn to use the camera properly and take a lot of photographs. You'll be in a far better position to evaluate your choice once you've got some experience, and you can sell it on without much of a loss if you decide that you'd prefer something else.

A LesPaul sounds very different from a Strat, though, and also the playing is very different with the curved fretboard of the Strat vs. the flat one of the LesPaul (not sure I'm using the proper English term here, but you probably know what I mean) ;)

So would you recommend a Nikon then with a Les Paul strap or a Cannon with a Fender strap? Confused of York.
