So what differs between them are ergonomics, build quality, lens selecton etc. These are all highly subjective factors, so play with them if you get a chance and look at a variety of reviews. Personally I like Nikon for the above reasons, but I can't fault Canon users. They all take good pictures.

All, please bear with me. I don't want to be going here, and I feel those who have gone ahead of me are more along my line of thinking that others. The question - what is the better choice for jumping into digital? Canon DSLR vs Nikon DLSR? 1. for Canon - can use Leica lenses, but is the sensor inherently better (i.e. usage of IR filter in front of sensor)? 2. for Nikon - if I disregard using Leica glass, better sensor? 3. Leica DMR - too expensive, and I don't own an R9. 4. M8 - too expensive 5. RD-1 - good enough, but high probability of "out of box" defect (30% as far as I can tell) I think I won't be going the Leica digital route. Can anyone speak to Nikon D200 vs D80? Thanks all for any information that you care to post. regards Vick -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
