HELP... Need some advice....
 

Looking to buy a new digital camera... under a grand... and torn between these three...

Canon Digital Rebel 300D 6.1mp

Konika/Minolta DiMAGE A2 8mp

Nikon Coolpix 8700 8mp
http://www.nikonusa.com/template.php...roductNr=25515

All have great features.... leaning more toward an 8mp but i like the fact that the canon has inerchangable lenses...

Opinions please.

Thanks

take a look at this one

I have a Nikon that I love. I don't really have any experience with the others but I don't have any complaints about the Nikon.

Yea, saw that one... but only 4mp... and will it sync with studio flashes? The DiMAGE A2 will and has double the mp.... Looking for print as well as web.

Do you shoot with this? how is the processing speed... fps?

Thanks.

How old is your nikon?

I have a coolpix 4500... freaking thing died on me for no reason... was using it one night... the next morning... no LCD and it would not take a pic. Friggin warranty is expired and it will cost over 200 to fix... can get it new again for 339.00 I really like the 8700 features... just not sure about the durability....

I also like the fact the you can have prints up to 20x30 with the 8700...

thanks advice appreciated...
