Nikon D5000

Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II

I`ve had canon and nikon cameras 300d,350d,d40,d50,d70,d80,d200,d300
All excellent except the Nikon D80 which had the most shocking metering of any camera i`ve ever used. All over the place, will drive you nuts :)

The nikon d90 or d40 are the best value at the moment imo.

I'm not certain about the Canon equivalent to the Nikon D80 since I'm much less familiar with Nikon than I am Canon, but my guess is that it would be the Canon 40D, which I treasure and love dearly. I kind of got locked in to the Canon thing because that's what my first DSLR was, so I really can't speak to the comparison between the two. But I can say I love the feel of the 40D in my hands. Some people prefer the smaller bodies, but to me the larger body feels more solid and just fits right. There's also the newer 50D which has an improved LCD screen, debatably less noise than the 40D, and more megapixels. If you're going to a camera store to compare bodies, I'd suggest asking to play with the Canon 40D which may be closer to your price range than the 50D.

in the digital era, post editing is a huge contributing factor, along with the above mentioned I think you'll be happier with the post editing capabilities of the canon systems. I love my Canon 40D and everything that goes with it.

I use a Pentax K20D cos it's more solid and therefore more suitable as a weapon if ever accosted by street scum.

I lost my hammer the other weekend.

My 1D filled in nicely.

Thank you all so much for your input. You'll be glad to know that I picked up my D90 Yesterday!! Complete with the 18-105 vr and Jello Video Mode! haha.

Anyway thanks for all of your input, I really really appreciate it. :)

And If you are looking for a good deal on an olympus E510 in perfect condition I'm selling my Olympus here.

Thanks again everyone :)
