Hey wht are your opinions? <BR> <BR>Thanks, <BR>Zach

cant afford either, but i got enough canon glass to keep me from making the switch any time soon...<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>when you get up to camera bodies as good as the 20D/30D and D70/D80, its more about the photographer than it is the camera body IMO. the difference between those bodies simply comes down to a canon/nikon debate, and we all know that canon is better<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0>

well put scott. <BR> <BR>They are both great cameras. If you already own glass of one brand or another it's an easy choice. If not, I suggest studying up on <a href="http://www.dpreview.com" target="_blank">www.dpreview.com</a> to help you decide. <BR> <BR>Me, I'm a Canon man. I'm married to this L glass. But I have shot with Nikons and they're great too....

If you want a camera now, you're better off going with the Canon or D70. <BR>The D80 won't be available until maybe Sept/Oct. Hopefully you've put yourself on a waiting list. <BR>D80 $999. <BR> <BR> <BR><i>we all know that canon is better</i>...Scott a you shouldn't say "we" when you have a gerbil in your pocket<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>

Yes, Nikon does make excellent cameras but as far as sports is concerned Canon definately has an advantage.

I dunno about that one....Ecco Challenge, Kentucky derby.... <BR>Yes I know for the world cup they were all over the place. But it just ends up being a regional thing in the long run.

The real reason Canon painted their lenses white is obvious when you see a shot of the shooters at any major sports event - 90% of the lenses are white and at least half of the remaining are usually sigmas or tamrons on Canon bodies.

the Kentucky Derby might have been sponsored by Nikon but I assure you that the majority of professional photographers there were shooting on Canon equipment.
