    Nikon D80 Vs Canon 400D

    I'm stuck between which one I should get.

    In Australia the Nikon D80 is about $2200 AUD and the Canon 400D is $1500 AUD. Im getting mixed reviews to which make has better lens/flashes etc.

    I like the feel of the Nikon as my hand is big and fits better and has good balance but the Canon has a nice feel as well and its cheaper ( $700 cheaper).

    Need some opinions.

      Get the Nikon.

      Reasons:

      Nikon
      Viewfinder big and bright, identical to D200, which is 1700 US$
      420 segment RGB Color Matrix Metering
      really excellent battery life (up to 750 shots)
      Nikon has new affordable lenses that are world class


      Canon
      No spot metering

                  I have a Nikon D70 and the SB800 flash. Combined together I can shoot in any situation be it a photo shoot or a dark nightclub.

                      Yep, that's exactly right.

                      Spot Metering. Put the camera on manual exposure and point it around while looking at the exposure bar graph. You adjust the manual exposure so that the elements of your image are exposed, according to the bar graph, as you want them to be rendered.

                      You don't really need this on the Nikon because it has Matrix metering.

                              xcitecash, is the canon that bad? picture quality or just the feel?

                                  they both have good points and bad points just remember your buying into a lens system. So its like a marriage.

                                      I always shoot Nikon. And if there is no spot metering then that really is a good reason to pick it up.

I won't go into detail, because to be honest, I know shit all about cameras. Now I just need to learn how to use it
