Good Bye d80!

After using my d80 for almost a year I decided that it was necessary to return it to its rightful owner, Costco. I was expecting them to give me lots of attitude and questions but they took it back with only one question, "why are you returning?". I just gave them the "doesn't live up to my expectation" spew. Any who, this was about 3 weeks back.... and I have been camera less since. I am still decided if I want to go over to the dark side or is Nikon still my brand of dslr choice.

I've taken a look at the Canon 40d and it hasn't really impress me much. My old d80 felt better in my hands and had a better viewfinder not to mention and way better LCD screen!

Decisions, decisions.... whens' the 7d coming out?!

Decisions, Decisions (Canon Vs. Nikon)

I went to a local camera store yesterday to get a feel for which dslr was right for me. I played around with a Nikon d80 and with a Canon 30d. Both cameras were pretty nice but it felt as though the 30d's autofocus system was superior to that of the d80. Prior to this, I was set on getting the d80 but now I am confused. The 30d can be had for about the same price as the d80 (give or take $200 w/ the Canon rebates). My search continues...
