Not sure if this is the right spot to post this. Mods feel free to move it if needed. Anywho, went looking for a new vacuum cleaner today. While Mrs fly (Louise) was choosing said vacuum cleaner (which, incidentally, didn't work when we got it home, so it"s another 1 1/2 hr round trip to take it back, but that's another story) I went looking at DSLR's.
So now I'm tossing up between the Canon EOS 1100D & Nikon D3100. The Nikon looks and feels more like a camera should. Like my old Pentax SLR years ago. Both come with an 18-55 lens. The Canon just feels like plastic, but I'm more after features suitable for outdoors and astro photography. A work colleague who's right into photography recommend the Nikon. The Nikon seems to be a bit higher spec than the Canon.
What do you guys use? Anyone got either or of these cameras? What do you like & dislike about them? How do they perform?
Even the Nikon lens looks and feels more robust than the Canon. The Nikon is about 150 smackers more.
Hmmm, have I answered my own question in there somewhere?
Thanks. Louie.
