[QUOTE="dazcaz, post: 1009106, member: 131276"] It might be that your existing Canon lenses will not fit or work on the new digi body. Nikon lenses will fit a new nikon body. Nikon MF lenses can only be used in manual mode. Nikon AF lenses are usually OK for new digi bodies. I don't know about the Canon's. I always thought that it was only Nikon that allowed older lenses to fit newer bodies, but I might be wrong. Newer Nikon DSLRs will shoot video and do live view. I'm a Nikon guy, have been since the early 90s. Nikon SLRs and DSLRs. Saying that, I buy Canon compacts as Nikon Compacts just don't make the mark. Nikon SLRs, in my book, are unbeatable. The Canon G10 is the best (digital) compact I have ever owned, and that's now been superseded by the G11. If you have Canon kit, then the Canon bodies might have a similar feel to them. The move from my film Nikon 8008s (801s in Europe) to my digital D-100 was easy thanks to my familiarity to Nikon kit, but there was still a large learning curve. Try and get your hands on a few bodies. Some DSLRs are very small and light. I hate them. Nothing beats having a go and finding out how it feels in the hands. [/QUOTE]
