Nikon's New D90 Steals Canon's 50D's Thunder

It is amazing how much most of 'you' individuals posting comments whine. Get a life - stop crying about grammer - stop crying about minor differences between camera manufacturers.

Both Nikon and Canon make excellent cameras. I have owned extensive camera outifts in each brand. At the time, one or the other offered what I needed to provide customers with their desires. Both the D90 and the 50D and whatever is around the corner for either company (and others) will have pros and cons.

Pick what features are most important to you and try to find the camera company that best fulfills that objective. If you want video - get the D90 or a video camera that provides even more capability. If you want more megapixels - get the 50D. They will BOTH be able to probably shoot better still pictures than your ability if you are reasonably new to the art of photography. Enjoy what you get and take the best pictures you can.

It is mostly the person behind the camera that determines the quality of the picture. A fantastic camera will not make you an excellent photographer. Get out and shoot pictures and develop an eye for what you are doing. Go to your library and read some books. Take a class at your local college. All will help your ability more than the latest camera with the latest gee-whiz feature.

Learn to use the features of whatever camera you decide to buy. Almost every DSLR on the market has so many features and capabilities that many owners never learn them.

Get a camera.
Learn what makes it work.
Use every feature you can.
Take lots of pictures.

Have fun.
Life's too short.
