[QUOTE="peterbj7, post: 1507667, member: 201846"] A camera is always a compromise, between portability, price, performance, durability etc. Every person's rationale will be different from most others. One key factor is low light performance, and how important it is to you. As well as old film cameras, I have two DSLRs, both (by chance) Canon. A 5D and a 7D. For landscapes, building interiors etc I prefer the 5D. For sport and action generally and especially when I want to use a long lens I take the 7D. The lenses I have cost much more than the two camera bodies, and then there are flashes etc. You're buying into a system, and after a while you'll be committed to that system as a change would cost too much. I also use compacts, and my favourite by far is a Canon G10. I've tried most of its successors and come back to the G10 as doing better what I want from it. I also have smaller "pocket" cameras by Canon, Casio and Pentax. I also own, but they don't work any more, a couple of Sonys. It's a brand I will always steer clear of, as their customer service is abysmal and their products tend to fail pretty early. I have never owned a Nikon, though that seems to be the DSLR of choice down here. I might get one in due course - I particularly like the D800 - but I watch the warranty experiences of owners here and they're not encouraging. This is a very harsh environment for cameras and lenses, and often neither lasts more than 2 years before major trouble. I have had no such trouble with my Canon gear (though others have had) but I know no-one with a Nikon who hasn't had major issues with bodies and/or lenses. Just my personal experiences, not necessarily relevant to your wants. [/QUOTE]
