The enthusiasts were having a non ending argument of Nikon or Canon..?
My personal ideas is that Canon OR Nikon argument is useless exercise. I have listed below the cause of action that I took in selecting my DSLR.
1. Consider what are the highest and lowest specs of good camera brands. I considered only Nikon & Canon.
2. Think clearly, why do you want this camera...? What purpose..? since you are going to buy your first DSLR, do you actually want the top of the range..? Or do you just want to buy a average DSLR?
3. Do you really want to pay for any features that you will never use..?
4. Mega Pixels..? The mega issue in selecting a digital camera. Think about the size of the photographs that yo are expecting to take. High number of mega pixels will bring yo bigger pictures, but at a higher cost. If you do not want to spend a lot, my advise is to go for a medium sized mega pixel option. (We can find enough examples of very good photographs taken even with 6 mega pixel DSLR)
5. Consider how much you can afford and start small..!
6. Do you want additional lenses..? I could not afford any additional lenses when I purchased my DSLR and the kit lens (18mm-55mm) was fine for me.
7. Any other accessories...? Wait wait...get familiar with the camera and basic operations first.
8. Then the big question..NIKON or CANON..? When i made my choice, I selected two models from both brands. Then went to both local agents and inspected the cameras physically. There is a very big difference between two camera designs and I selected the camera that fits best in my hand. Ergonomics..! Yes that is very important.
Small note on Nikon Vs Canon. : Both manufacturers make great cameras. Different models have their own merits. The color reproduction of these brands are different and what is best is totally on personal preference.
Actually my final selection was based on ergonomics and user friendliness. Keep in mind my friends...user friendliness is a very personal feeling.
