nikon or canon slr and compact cameras…?

Question by niiicccccc: nikon or canon slr and compact cameras…?
i’m looking at getting a slr and a compact

i’m in college so i’d be using the slr for that, landscapes, portraits, etc. bit of everything really.
nikon or canon? and which one?

i’m looking at the canon eos 450d, canon 40d and nikon d60 at the moment, however i’m not sure.

and i’d like a nikon coolpix for when i’m out with my friends and at gigs,
are they good for gigs? and again, which one is best?
under £250-ish if possible.
looking at the s710, again not sure though.

feel free to recommend any others

Answer by Trevor E
Second-hand Nikon D80,
24-135mm for everyday shooting
1.8f 50mm lens for incredible depth of field.

Canon G 9 for gigs and suchlike. Massive screen, completely manual if you want to use it like that.

Exactly…. The difference is in the lens. One is with VR (the expensive one) and the other one without.

It really depends on the individual camera model. But generally I think that Nikon is more powerful and can do more however its a bit more complicated to use, whereas Canon are alot more user friendly.
