digital camera suggestions?

[noahyay]

yet another random thought that cam into my head
im just curious -do you paint your cameras green?

so your saying that both cannon and nikon have simmilar quality in p and s digital?

i will admit that i have not used a coolpix camera
i have used the d70 and eos digital rebel xt both though. a lot

i was unsure of my purchase untill i had the opportunity to use a relatives Xt for the summer
now i am absolutely sure i made the right decision

the cannon was so much harder to work with when it came to simple things like af points and exposure. my guess to why more people buy it is that it is much better to use when setting the cameras to auto. most people who buy cameras just set it there and leave it there. kinda defeats the purpose.

so after the experience with the cannon im kind of a nikon person. I have used several nikon slrs and cannon slrs though and nikon always seemed higher quality for your money. plus they break less and lenses cost less

Break less? And the glass might be cheaper because its, well, cheaper. Next time you see a major sporting event, look at the number of white lenses you see. That'll tell you which brand the pros prefer. Nothing against Nikon, but they are in no way superior to Canon. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

L glass is really good. And I would much rather have a 1Ds (full frame sensor) than a D2x (frame crop factor of 1.5). Even the fast 1D only has a crop factor of 1.3. Now I just want Canon to make better Glass. Most L glass is good, but only the prmes can do the 1Ds mk2 justice.

Is there ANY glass that would be good enough? From what I've seen, the Canon stuff is better than the Nikon, and usually better than Sigma, Tamron, Quantray, etc etc.

Only primes so far. 100mm f2 is good, 50mm f1.4 is really good, but you can still tell the difference. The zooms are ok, but you can clearly tell the difference.

Well, primes are always going to be the best, because they have the fewest elements.
